Frito Pie F This is a piece of cinema history, with this short being the debut of Charlie Chaplin on the big screen. If you judge it by today's standards you may call it "boring" or "weird", but the chaotic nature of the film is what the Keystone formula was all about. Chaplin hadn't developed his infamous "Tramp" character for this film, rather he plays a shady character who runs around harassing the character played by director Henry Lehrman. It's a silly fun short that not only shows us Chaplin's debut but a glimpse into life in 1914. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/25 Full Review william d Chaplin still hadn't developed his Tramp character yet, but his talent still shines through. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Fairly basic and uninteresting. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Review of several Chaplin films coming to themoviefreakblog.com on 9/15 Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Chaplin is a swindling debonair in this early short. This short is of some interest as it stands as a Chaplin film before his notorious tramp character's apparition. Nevertheless, it's annoyingly fast and lacking in much originality. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Charlie Chaplin's first ever screen performance, it doesn't really hint at the greatest that was to come, and Chaplin himself disliked the film.
