Behind the Screen
Not my favorite Charlie Chaplin short here. I remember seeing this one before, but I still hoped there would be more of a glimpse at the creation of movies during this time than there was. The gags didn’t really work with me here although I enjoyed watching Chaplin pulling a lever.
The end erupts into a pie fight, just characters hurling pies at each other for what seems to be fifteen minutes. I’m sure it’s the kind of thing that was a lot more fun to actually film than it was to watch.
