Charlie Chaplin bid farewell
to silent comedy with this funny and poignant masterpiece. He
stars as a factory worker fed-up with the job and his tyrannical
boss (who keeps an eye on all his employees via a big-brother
TV monitor). When he meets and falls in love with an orphaned
street waif, the two dream of a nice suburban existence... but
the cops are never far behind, chasing the vagabond couple.
