Reviews for Tillie's Punctured Romance
The frame is always static but the agitation within keeps getting cranked up into combustion
Particularly noteworthy as featuring early Chaplin tramp character, but not as funny as later Chaplin work.
Museum piece slapstick comedy with the Keystone Kops and Charlie Chaplin that spoofs a gold-digger.
