NOTE

[Jinna Lee, Programmer​]

This is one of the masterpieces of Charlie Chaplin who still stuck to the directing style of silent films during a period when sound films became the mainstream after 1927. The director played the main role, Charlie who couldn't adapt to changes and resembles himself in real life.
