The Kid
1921
*****
Director: Charles Chaplin
Cast: Charles Chaplin, Edna Purviance, Jackie Coogan, Carl Miller

The Little Tramp brings up an abandoned baby boy like he's his own. However, when things seem too good to be true, they usually are. Chaplin's first feature length film contains some of his loveliest physical comedy and some of his most heartbreaking drama. Jackie Coogan gives an incredibly natural performance as the kid.
