The Pawnshop

Watch Film

Release Year: 1916

Director: Charles Chaplin

Review:  Charlie Chaplin stars as a trouble making pawnshop assistant, who is more trouble than he is worth.  What follows is the usual slapstick fare, usually involving Chaplin fighting with his co-worker.  The highlight of the movie comes when Chaplin has to assess the value of a customers alarm clock.  He systematically dissects and demolishes the entire thing, as the customer looks on in horror, only to reject the clock and give it back in pieces.  It's a great scene, in a fairy mediocre movie.
Rating: 3/5
