The Pawnshop (1916)
Directed by Edward
Brewer and star Charlie Chaplin this film also features Edna
Purviance and Henry Bergman. Late to his job at a pawnshop Chaplain's
usual character gets into the usual shenanigans.
Featuring plenty of
good slapstick comedy this is a decent watch and yet another good
example of why Chaplin is a master of the genre. What the film lacks
compared to some of Chaplin's longer and more famous work is a clear
narrative to tie the whole thing together with some heart. Well made
this is certainly worth a watch.
3/5
