The usual Chaplin, nothing more!
4 November 2017 | by rodrig58 – See all my reviews

Let's be serious, it's not funny, I did not laugh. Chaplin is the same as in all his short films, before his great masterpieces. It is charming, indeed, but all we see are the same "gags", a lot of kicks in the ass, hat-pins that are also stuffed in the ass, again and again. Grimaces, exaggerated gestures and punches galore. The end!
