The Rink - Starring Charlie Chaplin (1916)

CharlieA treat now for all Charlie Chaplin fans, and also for those who didn't know they were a fan in the first place. This 23 minute short must have been one of the reasons that Chaplin became one of the most popular performers of his time. Enjoy the timing, the cheeky looks into camera, the routines, this is an hilarious slapstick gem.

Main plot overview: Charlie is a waiter trying to come to terms with problems with customers and the fellow employees...
