USA/1921—directed by Charles Chaplin | 53 minutes
Charlie Chaplin was already an international star when he made The Kid, his first full-length feature. In it, he stars as his lovable Tramp character, this time raising an orphan (Jackie Coogan) he's rescued from the streets.
Chaplin and Coogan make a miraculous pair in this nimble marriage of sentiment and slapstick, a film that is, as its opening title card states, “a picture with a smile—and perhaps, a tear.”
The Kid will be presented with a live piano score by David Drazin.
