Movie, 1936Satirical situations and a hard time for Chaplin's tramp in a hostile, exploitative industrial environment, before salvation is suggested through a 'gamin' (street urchin). The physical comedy and repeatedly unlucky antics of the well-meaning duo point to the uncaring, greedy society, best illustrated at the beginning of the film, before the the gamin's emergence, and through the casual dictatorial style used by the CEO of the tramp's original employer. Some iconic scenes and empathy generated as the hapless couple struggle with the tramp's continual failures.
