Clarence J. Caine Motography If one attempts to tell why Chaplin "gets over" his comedy with such success, he is tackling more than a man's size job -- it is ever so much easier to simply say that Chaplin was as funny as usual and let it go at that. Jul 31, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Great movie a must see! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member The Tramp is early Charles Chaplin and also was a starting point for a lot of the techniques and ideas Chaplin would use from here on out. This is a fun 20 minute short from one of films first comedians and it's what you'd expect from him. Chaplin plays The Tramp, who fights off some burglars and helps a girl get her money back. He's then taken to her home where her father rewards him with a job. The burglars arrive again and The Tramp must fight them off again. If you are just getting into Chaplin, The Tramp is a great place to start. I also recommend this to anyone loves Charles Chaplin. This may not be considered one of his best, but it's still Chaplin. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review eric b Tramp Charlie works on a farm while hoping to woo the farmer's daughter. Endless sight gags involving a poking pitchfork, various blows to the head and bags of flour falling on people. Not so wonderful, though the ending adds some pathos. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Charlie Chaplin forever immortalized this role Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member In "The Tramp" we get a glimpse (and a rather perfect glimpse at that) at the brilliance, perfection, and mastery that Chaplin would exude in his future masterpieces. It's a thoroughly joyous experience with some great funny moments, and the Chaplin-esque heart-wrenching ending. It's not one of his funniest films, but it's funny moments are just great, and it's almost impossible not to enjoy yourself. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member A somewhat funny early Chaplin film. The use of intertitles would've made it much better though.
