A tramp and a stray dog in a city slum.
Sinekatalog’s take
Charlie Chaplin's short pairs the Tramp with a stray dog in a pioneering blend of comedy and pathos. Full of inventive gags, it is a charming early gem and a sign of his growing ambition.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
