Kid Auto Races at
Venice (1914)
Directed by Henry
Lehrman this film makes the screen debut of Charlie Chaplin in the
guise of his most famous character. A tramp regularly gets in the way
of filming, spectators and competitors at a car race.
This is sort of an
early hidden camera prank film but is not really funny and is pretty
repetitive. There is no plot just a person getting in the way,
compared to Chaplin's feature films this is a real disappointment. I
found it hard to get much from this film and while it maybe an
important historical landmark it is not that interesting to watch in
my opinion.
2/5
