Love him or loathe him, there's no dismissing the importance of Chaplin's cinematic legacy. All the usual knockabout slapstick - including a bit of cross-dressing - abound in this early outing for the little tramp. A Woman was Charlie Chaplin's ninth film for Essanay Films. It was made in Los Angeles at the Majectic Studio. It was the third and last time Chaplin played the role of a woman on film. He played a woman in two Keystone films: The Masquerader and A Busy Day. »

Easy Street is a 1917 short comedy film by Charlie Chaplin. It takes place on a street similar to where Chaplin himself was born, a despairing world beset by gangs, domestic violence, alcoholics and a tenuous authority represented by the church and police. In the film, the police are failing to maintain law and order and so it is Chaplin, as the Little Tramp character, that steps forward (rather reluctantly) to rid the street of bullies, help the poor, save women from madmen and generally keep the peace. »
