Aroview: Pre-dating - and disputedly influencing - Chaplin’s MODERN TIMES by some years, this is both more lyrical and whimsical in its satire of the automated age.
Set in a gramophone factory where two former-prison pals reunite after many years, one is now a rich industrialist, the other a layabout idealist.
DVD Features
