Classic Charlie


The Immigrant (1917)

Directed by star Charlie Chaplin this film also features Edna Purviance and Eric Campbell. While travelling on a ship to the USA the Tramp meets a young woman and her mother.

Mixing the usual excellent physical comedy with a touch of heart this is good example of Chaplin's style. Funny through out this is a good watch that ages well. Considering how much of the film appears to have been made on the fly this is an impressive effort.

4/5
