Review

basically a compilation of skits or set pieces with a narrative strung around it. from a plot perspective, this isn’t chaplin’s finest work. from a laughs perspective, however, it’s quite good. it also has some real tenderness to it with the tramp and the blind girl and the love there that exists outside of class and appearance. chaplin was a romantic. it’s a great film and a very funny one.
