My first Chaplin. I love so much this movie. Not only because is Chaplin, but because is technically flawless and carries a timeless idea. I specially love Paulette Goddard. She's terribly gorgeous. One of the best endings ever. |

The best silent movie of all time! Chaplin is great and the movie is never boring. You forget it is silent after the first 15 minutes. See Chaplin work magic. |
