OMG, remember the Charlie Chaplin movie Zepped, his World War I propaganda film where he pulls the piss on Germany’s Zeppelin? Probably not because it vanished years ago. Hmm, well it’s back!!! Morace Park from Essex in England bought it on eBay for $5.68. Yes, I kid you not, he bid for an old battered film canister listed as “an old film” and there inside was a fragile 35 mm nitrate film of Zepped. It is now being declared as the biggest cinematic find of the last 100 years. Gosh, I hope he speaks in this one? OK, it is only 7 minutes long but it is Charlie, Charlie Chaplin. Geez, that Morace Park is probably going to make more money from that film than the gross revenue of all Nicole Kidman’s films!
Psst Now if they can only find the lost footage of JFK’s assassination !
