Yasser Medina Cinefilia It may not be one of the great short films starring the genius, but it is, without fear of being wrong, a film with broad historical value. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 6/10 Aug 3, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

william d Chaplin's first appearance as The Tramp, but he doesn't really do anything except mug for the camera. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member One of Chaplin's best. Loved the direction too. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Just a home movie really. Seems more like experimenting with cameras and a "race" setting and trying to find something that works from an entertainment point of view -- didn't find anything entertaining. Interesting to see Venice in 1914 though. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Review of several Chaplin films coming to themoviefreakblog.com on 9/15 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Very amusing short of the Tramp out and about...and stealing camera time. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member The world's first viewing of Charlie Chaplin's Little Tramp. Not a great deal happens, with the tramp just hogging the camera, getting in the way of both the cameraman and the racers. It's not particularly inventive but Charlie still had me laughing, and it's fascinating to see how the tramp's look and movements were so fully formed right from the off. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews
