Review of The Idle Class (1921) by Carlos M — 11 Apr 2012

Charlie Chaplin plays two roles in this two reel short, both the Tramp and a high society alcoholic husband with mistaken identity and plenty of antics ensuing from this strikingly similar appearance! The film features plenty of gags and slapstick humor and also the usual heart that goes into a Chaplin film.

I've only seen a few two-reel Chaplin films (Seen many more Keaton two-reels) but they don't quite get to the level of his feature films as there isn't enough time to elaborate. If you are a Chaplin fan though then this and pretty much any of his work is appreciated and sought after and this short is no different!
