Salute to Chaplin: A Dog's Life

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Starring Charlie Chaplin

BBC2's season of Charlie Chaplin classic comedies continues with a two-reeler made in 1918, presented tonight with a musical accompaniment composed by Chaplin himself. Charlie's co-star is Scraps - a 'well-bred mongrel' but, like the Tramp, temporarily down on its luck.
(First showing on British television)
Films: page 19
(The next Salute to Chaplin is on Friday at 11.45 pm: The Circus - not Northern Ireland)
