Modern Times. United Artists, R – [?] (30 x 20”). Scarce Portuguese release for the classic film about the struggles of an industrialized society. Chaplin’s iconic Little Tramp stands between a pair of oversized, well-worn shoes, the title credits framed with his instantly recognizable bamboo cane. Oddly advertised as a “sound film”, though it is in fact a silent movie. Linen backed. Large areas of heavy restoration, especially the top quarter of the poster, Chaplin’s face almost completely over-painted; evidence of water drops along bottom margin. B-. Rare.
