Venice, 1914: a Vanderbilt Junior Cup for boys and their homemade “pushmobiles”.
In only his second performance on film, the still-unknown Chaplin ambles out onto the
track in his new, but surprisingly well-formed, “Little Tramp” costume: bowler hat, baggy pants, bamboo cane, small moustache. Stealing shots with a camera crew, he’s just a camera hog with an attitude, getting in the way, and wanting to be photographed.
City Walk is a unique series that reveals the way walking is transforming cities across America, and in the process, re-connecting us to our bodies, our civic values and public space.
As the show explores the walkability of these communities, viewers will learn about American history by exploring culturally rich neighborhoods, stunning architecture, monuments and beautiful parks that have helped define the character of each city.
