    The Bank (1915 film)

    The Bank was Charlie Chaplin's tenth film for Essanay Films.

    Released in 1915, it is a departure from the tramp character, as Charlie Chaplin plays a janitor at a bank. Edna Purviance plays the secretary on whom Charlie has a crush and dreams that she has fallen in love with him. Filmed at the Majestic Studio in Los Angeles. Silent. There doesn't appear to be any evidence that this film was received any differently from the bulk of Chaplin's early work, but today this film is often considered one of his most fascinating efforts.

  • Edna Purviance - Edna, a Secretary

  • Anthony LaPaglia as Simon O'Reily
  • Mitchell Butel as Stephen

  • Reception

    The Bank grossed $2,515,917 at the box office in Australia.

    Reviews of the film were mixed. Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes scored The Bank at 65% from 36 professional reviews (average rating 5.8/10), but 45% from 11 "top critic" reviews (average rating 5.5/10). Australian film review site Urban Cinefile's three reviewers summarized the film as "favourable". The New York Times concluded "As far-fetched as the movie is ... conveys an engaging zest for upper-crust mischief. The two stories come together in the hurtling final lap as Wayne confronts Simon in his country house while Jim puts his perfected program into operation. The upshot is a whopper of an ending that is as silly as it is satisfying." The New York Post gave the film 1.5/4 stars, stating "Despite a crafty premise and a clever kink in the tale that almost saves it, Connolly isn't dexterous enough to achieve the Hitchockian level of suspense the movie needs." The Los Angeles Times stated "Connolly might well have constructed a brisker, more exciting picture with more vivid and involving characters. As it is, the film takes too long to become truly compelling."

    Whatever it is spit it into a bottle and sell it to me

    I need a new drug that does what it should
    So take me to the bank
    Take me to the bar
    Can you take me to the hot spot?
    This is what we worked so hard to afford but
    Take me to the bank
    Can you take me to the bar?
    Can you take me to the hot spot?
    This is what we worked so hard to afford but
    How I wanna hide
    The next time you visit me here
    How about coming out to my place
    We can sit on the floor and play my brother? s records
    We can sit on the grownup bed
    Couple with the coin
    Lighting up to join the coping crowd
    My big brother said to stay unsatisfied
    Never work a day to pay off your desire
    Couple with the coin
