The third of Chaplin’s greatest comedies. Minimal use of sound—which had already been around for about a decade—does not alter the fact that this is still essentially a silent film. Charlie satirizes industrialized life that dehumanizes and oppresses the poor, downtrodden American worker during the Depression. Among the classic bits is his travel through the cogs of a giant machine.
