Movie Reviews
Charlie Chaplin is one
of the greatest and all time finest comedian of all ages, as yet. His
early silent portrayals like this surreal and sentimental presentation
is his excellent work in its living originality.
His visage and gestures, his cap and the movement of stick are all lovely trademarks of this legendary comedian. Highest paid actor of his time, he deservedly ranks as an artist who is appropriately knighted with the title of "SIR".
Given the present comedy standards (if any) which mostly circumvent on computerized graphics and crazy mannerisms, it seems posterity would have to wait for quite a time to discover some real like of this paradoxically naughty, mischievous, simple, innocent and endearing little tramp.
