Audience Member Features some iconic locations and solid humor. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Review of several Chaplin films coming to themoviefreakblog.com on 9/15 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Charlie wreaking havoc whereever he goes, it's like a precursor to Frank Spencer, only the tramp has attitude, especially when he's got a gun in his hand. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Often referred to as the fifth Chaplin film, but according to IMDB it's actually his sixth (they also count a small uncredited role in a film that I can't find anywhere). In this film, as with a lot of his 1914-films, Charlie is not quite there yet :) Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Another one of Chaplin's early shorts made in the easy confines of a movie studio. This was one of the first, but he would come back to the setting occasionally throughout the next few years. The film is a series of largely disconnected gags, though Chaplin shows off some of his unique physical gifts in the scenes with the gun and the fire hose. Amusing, but not all that memorable. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member I like when Chaplin squeezes the water out of himself. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
