WOW! Vintage 1916 Charlie Chaplin! M/F foot

[RobAce]

Hey all,
I was just browsing around looking for stuff and I came across this.
I know one of you will be able to copy and put it up to save it for "safe-keeping"

Just a 16 second clip of Charlie Chaplin as a shoe salesmen, and he tickles a womans foot.

WOW!! 1916!!
I wonder if good ol Chaplin was one of us.

DO I GET A RARE FIND MEDAL OR SOMETHING!?!?
LOL

Well, as there was an extended foot tickling scene in his later film, A King In New York...maybe!!

This is from "The Floorwalker", I believe the clip was made by Juggler way back when. 😉

King in New York scene

I've seen the King in New York movie before and it is a great tickling scene! Does anyone have a clip of it?

Nice find, Robace. Too bad it can't be downloaded.

BTW there is no extended foot tickling scene in A King in New York. What's there is a brief tickle during an extended foot holding scene. 🙁

Well it can be downloaded, I have at least as a .swf file. One I can only play in realplayer that can play back .swf videos from youtube and that stuff.

I am sure someone can convert, I have seen some other ones done. Ill see whom I cna find, It wont take long...its less than 20 seconds.

The whole film's a tickler...

What makes this lovely minute in "The Floorwalker" so much fun is that Charles is clearly using tickling her foot as a means of flirting with the woman, who doesn't seem to be protesting all that hard. This was no small deal in 1916 when, as Cole Porter would have it some time later, "a glimpse of stocking was looked on as something shocking."<p>
As much as I loved the tickling bit when, as a mere tyke, I saw this short on public tv, what really tickled me was the chase scene on the escalator with perennial Chaplin adversary big Eric Campbell. If you've never seen any of Charles' Mutual shorts from 1916 and 1917--of which this is an early example--you really owe it to yourself to see some of the funniest films ever made--then AND now. You'll see right away why Chaplin at that time was no doubt the most famous man on Earth.<p>
And I agree with Xod. I think Chaplin--a great appreciator throughout his long life of laughter and young women--knew that tickling a lady's foot yielded not only giggles but a sexual charge, too.
<p>And the footplay with Dawn Addams in A KING IN NEW YORK may not last long enough for us tickling insatiables, but it's prob the cutest moment in Charles' last starring feature. And it's a nice bookend to that playful tickling forty years earlier...

Robace - Wow! Not to date myself, but I had that film in 8mm!! Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

"May" not last enough? It lasted 0.6 seconds according to my stopwatch. Even most people who dislike tickling wouldn't consider that an extended period.

Chaplin gets my full respect for presenting what was probably the first mainstream tickling scene in The Floorwalker, but I was disappointed after the big build-up I read about AKiNY when I finally saw the real thing.

The only mainstream rule is: see it for yourself. There are still people here who claim some tickling took place in Farewell to Arms, solid evidence to the contrary notwithstanding.
