Wire flying sequences


Just watched it on TCM and I was completely blown away by the sophistication of the wired flying sequences during the dream scene. They were mixed in with walking and were also very fittingly flowing ... not at all jerky and obvious. They could probably rival some modern productions ... really surprised me.

It really is excellent wire work. Not only by the stunt crew but the way Chaplin seems at ease with it.
