Another natural classic, this one as unrealistic (seems inane to say that about a slapstick comedy) as the other 'Trampies', but equally visually cunning, and masterfully guiding through an hour of almost perfect comedy.

An excellent effort from Chaplin that highlights the bitter loneliness of prospecting while somehow remaining funny throughout. The laughs here aren't as deep or as regular as some of his other work, leaving a few lulls as the film progresses. But the movie's underlying sadness that is ultimately overcome by hope continues to resonate on multiple viewings.

Cute, but not great. Some memorable scenes, a few laughs, and Chaplin's mannerisms are always a joy to watch. His narration seemed superfluous most of the time, though.

Despite its infinitely classic scenes, I still found many nuggets which gave me a surprised laugh. The love story also has a good arch. Hollywood ending was a bit much but I think he found the right note to hit it with.

(2nd viewing, sound re-working version) I found Chaplin's voiceover, juxtaposed with the man on the screen, bothersome the 1st time around (saw it in french now). I won't spoil any of the scenes though some of them are absolutely hilarious and it encompasses every bit of wit and humanism Chaplin is known for. One of Chaplin's best.

My favorite Chaplin. This movie fills me with pure, unadulterated glee.

Chaplin's greatest achievement in a motion picture. Every scene is a CLASSIC !!!

Why do silent films always end with the whore getting with the guy after he becomes rich or esteemed? Overall, it's quite good though. The tramp looking out his door on New Years is devastating.

Chaplin's second masterpiece is full of laughs, emotion and classic gags. While not quite as emotional as the film before it - The Kid - it has a lot more going for it. Chaplin was a genius, plain and simple.
