The Kid (1921) "Mixes slapstick and sentiment in a winning combination." - Leonard Maltin's Movie & Video Guide One heaves rocks through windows. The other happens by in the nick of time to offer his services as an expert window repairman. It's a system that works. So does everything else about this beloved Charlie Chaplin classic whose blend of laughs and pathos changed the notion of what a screen comedy could be.
For the first time as a filmmaker, Chaplin stepped into feature-length storytelling with this tale of the down-but-never-out Tramp (Chaplin) and the adorable ragamuffin (6-year-old Jackie Coogan) who, rescued as a foundling and raised in the School of Hard Knocks by the Tramp, is his inseparable sidekick. Memorable scenes include a lesson in table manners, the bully brawl and the Tramp's angelic dream.
Tillie's Punctured Romance (1914) Charlie Chaplin plays a lovable rogue in his first feature-length comedy ever made. Tillie (Marie Dressler) is a simple country girl, but trouble ensues when she runs into a smooth talking con-artist (Charlie Chaplin). He convinces her to take her father's savings and run away
to the big city with him. When they arrive the two-timing crook strikes up a romance with another girl leaving Tillie to work in a restaurant to support them. However, he comes slithering back once he learns that Tillie is about to inherit $3,000,000.
