Highlights:
- The emotions run high in this Chaplin film. In that way, it is very different. A touching narration helps.
- The kid who plays 'the kid' has acted unbelievably well and that is what ensures an emotional viewer involvement.
- Chaplin is at his best as usual; with his pranks and expressions alike.
- The scene where the men from the asylum try to get the kid from Chaplin is very very special!
