Not barking mad


A Dog's Life (1918)

Written & directed by star Charlie Chaplin this film also features Edna Purviance, Syd Chaplin and a dog called Mut. Living homeless on the streets our hero the tramp befriends a stray dog.

Filled with some good comedic set pieces and a little bit of heart this is a clear stop on the road map to Chaplin's later great films. Not as accomplished as his later efforts this is still a good watch. Well made, this is an entertaining comedy.

3/5
