The Rich verses the Poor, 8 March 2002
Author: The Black Englishman from London, England

Chaplin's fight sequences in each of his films always seem to be the same. However, the fact that he is the chosen representative of the working class man in a post-Victorian era dramatised in an episodic film version of a serial novel, was phenomenal.

Chaplin's one and two reeler films were the working class version of 'Vanity Fair' in the 20th century.
