Passable


Making a Living (1914)

Directed by Henry Lehrman this film stars Charlie Chaplin and the Keystone Kops. Two men fight over a woman which leads to slapstick action.

This is pretty much what you expect when you imagine an early silent comedy, plenty of physical comedy. The plot exists purely as a foil for the action and adds little to the piece. In general this is a decent if not spectacular comedy.

3/5
