Charlie Chaplin At The Brooks Thursday Night

Memphis Brooks Museum of Art will screen a recently restored version of Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times (1937) on Thursday, April 7 at 7:00 p.m.  More details available Brooks Events page.
The Little Tramp punches into a factory job and wigs out on the assembly line, suffers a nervous breakdown, and meets the gamine, played by Paulette Goddard. Together, they pursue bliss and a steady paycheck, finding misadventures along the way in this 1936 comedy, one of Chaplin’s greatest achievements.
