Review of The Pawnshop (1916) by Kevin N — 19 Aug 2008
Charlie Chaplin offered a series of comic essays on the trades and professions; he presented a fantastic gallery of the skilled and unskilled in a few minutes of this silent comedy film. When a man brought in an alarm clock and Charlie accepted it.
Examined it he became, successively, a heart specialist, a doctor, a specialist in antiques, a driller, a housewife, a dentist, a plumber, a jeweller, a ribbon clerk, and a cook. It was one of the greatest scenes Chaplin ever made.
