| User ReviewAllan CEnjoyable if forgettable Chaplin short. Charlie tries to woo a married woman and ends up throwing fighting her husband and having run ins with the police. Standard early Chapin stuff is solid, though nowhere as great as "The Kid" or "Modern Times". |
| User ReviewJohn AThis is another of the early Chaplin shorts that features poor framing, so that heads are cut off throughout the film. The plot is nonsensical, really just Charlie fighting with lots of people over a woman. |
| User Reviewstefán birgir ssame as most of the early shorts. chaplin wants woman, other man also wants woman. framing cuts off heads. |
