A brief taste of Chaplin's genius
7 October 2014
A brief taste of the genius of Charlie Chaplin. Not as complete as many of his movies, especially once you consider that he had already made movies like A Dog's Life before this, and that was nearly double the duration.

However, there is still enough time for Charlie Chaplin to display why is the greatest comedic actor of all time. He pretty much invented physical comedy for the silver screen, and also perfected it.

With the setting an central plot of this movie, there is little room for too much plot development, but Chaplin uses that to concentrate on particular scenes. His attempt to unfold a deckchair is one of the funniest things you'll ever see.
