A bum cares for an abandoned child. Starring Charles Chaplin, Jackie Coogan, and Carl Miller.

This is a brilliant silent film. It has the classic slapstick comedy, but it also has the heart. While there are some aged moments and a bizarre sequence that doesn’t fit the film or its story, it does have the style and heightened reality that is typical in silent films. The acting is brilliant by both Chaplin and Coogan. It’s a social film that does have its moments of politics, but it’s still a product of its time. The film is entertaining and worth the watch.
