In the story Chaplin plays a poor con artist of sorts who takes in an orphaned baby and raises him. It is very different to see Chaplin portray a paternal character. And the kid is wonderful.

The Kid
I thought I had finally watched all the Charlie Chaplin movies on my list(I like them but I was starting to get a bit of Chaplin overload) but then I discovered there was one last one. Turns out this last one was my favourite. It is called The Kid and it is from 1921. It is only about an hour so it is short and sweet.
