Legendary actor Charlie Chaplin stars as The Little Tramp who stumbles upon an abandoned baby in the alley and takes him into his care, in this landmark silent film.
This is one of the most famous silent films of all time and is regarded as the first-ever comedy-drama. Not only was it Chaplin’s first full-length film, It was the first film that he wrote, produced, and directed….maybe Chaplin’s most personal and autobiographical work.
Seven year old, Jackie Coogan, steals the show as “the kid”... in the memorable role that launched his career. He is probably most remembered today for one of his last acting roles...as “Uncle Fester” in the Addams Family television series.
