Mutual built\r\nChaplin his very own studio and allowed him total freedom to make 12\r\ntwo-reel films during a 12-month period, which have been brought\r\ntogether for the first time on this two-disc box set. Chaplin\r\nsubsequently recognised this period of film-making as the most\r\ninventive and liberating of his career.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThese twelve films demonstrate the breadth of Chaplin's abilities as\r\nboth a physical slapstick actor and a subtle, endearing character\r\nactor.
