Henry Bergman

A tramp reluctantly takes a job at a middling circus and falls for a trick riding woman, who just happens to be the daughter of the overbearing circus owner. In the last film he made during the silent era, Charlie Chaplin shines as director, composer, and star. A gag-packed comedy full of audacious set pieces, it showcases silent cinema's most popular entertainer and ranks among Chaplin's finest.

When his boss demands more speed and efficiency, Chaplin goes crazy from his repetitious assembly line job. Primarily a silent film with music and sound effects, but occasional voices emanate from radios and television screens.
