Les Miserables Babies

"There lived a kid whose name was Jean Valjean. / He stole some Bisquick Velvet Crumb Cake . . . "
OK, maybe not. But I had a chance recently to check out Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times, watching it for the first time since the hours spent as a tyke watching classic silents w/ my great-grandfather on his 8mm projector. I'd forgotten this film's sheer brilliance as a 20th century American take on the Victor Hugo classic.
