Funny peculiar

Charlie Chaplin and childhood go hand in hand, at least for me. My parents would hire a film projector for my birthday party, and we all sat round laughing at the flickering, silent adventures of the fascinating little tramp. We watched as he won over authority and fate, triumphing over nasty people and physical danger, such as the little hut placed dangerously on the cliffs in his film ``The gold rush``.
