not a perfect Chaplin short but still a "must see" historically, 7 May 2006
8/10
Author: planktonrules from Bradenton, Florida

I am very glad I saw this Chaplin film, though it isn't exactly great. That's because it still is a funny film and I was absolutely amazed watching Chaplin in drag. He actually made a rather pretty woman--far more fetching than Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis in SOME LIKE IT HOT! The film begins with Chaplin having a run-in at the park and tossing a guy and a cop into the lake. He then meets the man's wife and daughter and charms them. He doesn't know they are related to the man he assaulted so he isn't afraid to accompany the women home (I guess they just forgot about Dad). Well, once home, things seem to be going pretty well for the Little Tramp and he is quite smitten with the daughter and vice-versa. However, Dad finally returns and Charlie dressed as a woman to remain there and be with his new girlfriend. It's really cute when Dad begins making passes at Charlie and the film is a lot of fun.
