Charlie Chaplin's "The Bond"

Charlie Chaplin's 64th Film Released Sept. 29 1918 The Bond was a propaganda film created by Charlie Chaplin at his own expense for the Liberty Load Committee for theatrical release to help sell U.S. Liberty Bonds during World War I. Made in 1918 with Edna Purviance, Albert Austin and Sydney Chaplin, the film has a distinctive visual motif set in a simple plain black set with starkly lit simple props and arrangements. The story is a series of sketches humorously illustrating various bonds like the bond of friendship and of marriage and, most important, the Liberty Bond, to K.O. the Kaiser which Charlie does literally. There was also a British version with Uncle Sam replaced by John Bull and promotes War Bonds. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0008907/ Charlie Chaplin In The Internet Archive http://www.archive.org/details/CC_1914_02_02_MakingALiving http://www.archive.org/details/CC_1914_02_07_KidsAutoRaceAtVenice http://www.archive.org/details/CC_1914_02_09_MabelsStrangePredicament http://www.archive.org/details/CC_1914_02_28_BetweenShowers http://www.archive.org/details/CC_1914_03_02_FilmJohnny http://www.archive.org/details/CC_1914_03_16_HisFavoritePasttime http://www.archive.org/details/CC_1914_03_26_CruelCruelLove http://www.archive.org/details/CC_1914_04_04_TheLandladysPet http://www.archive.org/details/CC_1914_04_20_TwentyMinutesofLove http://www.archive.org/details/CC_1914_04_27_CaughtinaCaberet http://www.archive.org/details/CC_1914_05_07_ABusyDay http://www.archive.org/details/CC_1914_06_01_TheFatalMallet http://www.archive.org/details/CC_1914_06_11_TheKnockout http://www.archive.org/details/CC_1914_06_13_MabelsBusyDay http://www.archive.org/details/CC_1914_06_20_CharlottEtLeMannequin http://www.archive.org/details/CC_1914_07_09_LaffingGas http://www.archive.org/details/CC_1914_08_01_CharolotGargonDeTheater http://www.archive.org/details/CC_1914_08_10_FaceOnTheBarroomFloor http://www.archive.org/details/CC_1914_08_13_CharliesRecreation http://www.archive.org/det
