"A comedy with a smile—and perhaps a tear". Charlie Chaplin was already an international star when he decided
to make his first full-length feature. The Kid doesn’t merely
show Chaplin at a turning point, when he proved that he was a serious film
director—it remains an expressive masterwork of silent cinema. Starring as his
lovable Tramp character, this time raising an orphan (a young Jackie Coogan). Chaplin and Coogan make
a miraculous pair in this nimble marriage of sentiment and slapstick. (1921, 53
mins)
