The Pilgrim

Graveyard Poet

Chaplin's most underrated motion picture--this gem about an escaped convict on the loose who ends up impersonating the pastor of a small town church is Chaplin's playful foray into the Western genre. The theme song "Bound for Texas" is wonderful. One of my five favorite Chaplin films. The ending at the U.S. - Mexico border is fantastic.

Un humour d'une grande finesse d'observation et de psychologie pour un des grands classiques des films comiques de l'histoire du cinéma burlesque. En effet, c'est un vrai régal de voir Charlot officier devant une assistance coïte et médusée et nous narrer à sa façon la légendaire histoire de David et Goliath... www.cinefiches.com

An escaped convict is mistaken for the new pastor of a Western town. As with most Chaplin shorts it's basically a series of gags strung together - but built around a slightly stronger than usual plot.

This funny film shows society that the goodness of an individual comes from the personality of a person rather than their title or who/what they are associated with.

Pretty nice exploration about the roles we play in our lives and how little titles mean in the long run, but gag-wise this isn't my favorite, and for some reason I just couldn't connect with this that much.

Chaplin as a priest. Fairly forgettable and Chaplin's final short.

With plenty of gags, including the highlight church service with a story about David & Goliath, this short feature film is plenty of fun.
