A Woman - Movie Review |
|
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. Mother, Father and Daughter go to the park. The women dose off on a bench while the father plays a hide-and-seek game with a girl, blindfolded. Charlie leads him into a lake. Both dozing ladies on the bench fall for Charlie and invite him for dinner. The father returns home with a friend. Charlie rushes upstairs and dresses like a woman, shaving his moustache. Both men fall for Charlie.
