Here are three short films featuring the Tramp (Charles Chaplin). In "A Dog's Life," the Tramp's hardscrabble existence on the streets is compared to that of a canine named Scraps, whose name befits his meals. In "Shoulder Arms," Chaplin is an American soldier in World War I who manages to milk some comedy out of the depressed conditions of trench warfare. And in "The Pilgrim," Chaplin appears in a case of mistaken identity as an escaped prisoner who impersonates a town's minister.

Petros T 08/18/2024 This anthology film, curated by Chaplin himself, features three of his movies, the really good "A Dog's Life" (1918) and the inferior yet still pleasurable "Shoulder Arms" (also 1918) and "The Pilgrim" (1923). The added narrated introductions are too brief to have much informative value, but they do offer an aura of familiarity. See more 06/24/2007 Outstanding compilation of three Charlir Chaplin short films - A Dog's Life, Shoulder Arms and The Pilgrim. These are three of his best and extremely funny with Chaplin at his near best. See more Read all reviews
