Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 8/10 by Dennis SchwartzA timeless Little Tramp classic slapstick comedy.
User Review - 10/10 by Daniel TAlmost all of his work at Mutual is fantastic, and this one is exactly that. For me, specifically, it's great because of Chaplin playing the violin.
User Review - 10/10 by Dillon LEl super clásico de todos los tiempos, el inolvidable vagabundo de Chaplin

User Review - 10/10 by Sean Michael SCharlie's first minor masterpiece is a heartfelt and beautiful short story that is as sincere as it is comedic.
User Review - 10/10 by EvaLena IGreat silentmovie. Had a charm that todays movies d
User Review - 8/10 by Kevin NA spectacular Chaplin short with equal parts heart and laughs. Charlie rescues a gypsy girl from her abusive road family only to watch her curiously explore the pleasures of free life...including other men. The tramp's humble bravery and tendency toward generosity is fully blossomed here; it is incredible how much virtuosity this artist can fit comfortably into such a short running time, and how wonderfully he would later expand these ideas to fill a larger canvas.
User Review - 8/10 by John SThe Tramp meets a woman who is being abused by her employers, and he takes it upon himself to rescue her and whisk her away. Their life together is pleasant but things become complicated when The Tramp falls in love with the woman, but the woman falls for another. With The Tramp (1915), the short from Essanay, Charlie had taken his first step towards his unique genius, and with The Vagabond, he would take another step. But only just a step, it's not exactly a leap, like The Kid. The Tramp and The Vagabond (Man, Charlie like to use "The" in the titles of his films) were two of the very first films ever to display a mixture of comedy and pathos, which would become Charlie's trademark and he would later perfect in The Kid. The Vagabond comes close, but not as close as The Tramp or nearly as close as The Kid. But on it's own, The Vagabond is an extremely endearing and adorable film with some beautiful touching moments and a few laughs. But only a few. It's a smidge disappointing because the film isn't very funny. There are a couple or so pretty good moments, but overall it's a letdown. That being so, the film is still very cute and amusing so, the film isn't really boring, it just works better as a drama with some funny moments, rather than the level of his masterpieces which are a perfect combination of laughs and tears.
User Review - 6/10 by Mark DThe latter part of this story shows Charlie Chaplin in a new role, and he handles it well in spite of the necessity of being as funny as possible. Chaplin as of old, with a leaven of serious acting that is well done. In the role of an itinerant violinist who does some agile antics in competition with a German street band, and who follows it with a series of love misadventures in a gypsy camp.
User Review - 6/10 by John AAverage early Chaplin short. The story here is more well-defined than many of his early films, but it doesn't really evidence the brilliant combination of slapstick and pathos that we find in his later features.
