    Storyline

    • Trivia
      (at around 48 mins) Sir Charles Chaplin devoted eight days to filming the department store roller-skating scene where he skates blindfolded on the edge of the fourth floor, coming within inches of falling over the edge into the deep stairwell below. The dangerous large drop was actually a painted scene on a pane of glass carefully placed in front of the camera to align with the existing set and create the illusion of great height.
    • Goofs
      After the Gamin's sisters are taken away, there is no further mention of them or of the Gamin's concern (or lack of) for her sisters.
    • Quotes

      A gamin: [Last lines] What's the use of trying?

      A factory worker: Buck up - never say die. We'll get along!

    • Alternate versions
      The said 33 seconds last minute removal is this: "After the girl takes the diamond from the fat man, she had it checked and she found out that it was a fake diamond."

    In the Pursuit of Happiness...

    Never a dull moment with the vagrant antics of Mr Charlie Chaplin as he seeks to impress on his audience the impact of living in the modern era. What would the little man make of the world today, as technology continues its drive to remove people from the workplace and replace them with more and more automation (who can blame them during pandemic times). A timeless classic that is perfectly geared, engaged and enmeshed for the unstoppable onslaught of technology and its perpetual modernisation - happiness beckons.
