The Tramp

1915 · 26 min

Gentle silent slapstick that turns quietly bittersweet, leaving a soft ache beneath the laughter as the wanderer walks on alone.

Overview: The Little Fellow finds the girl of his dreams and work on a family farm. He helps defend the farm against criminals, and all seems well, until he discovers the girl of his dreams already has someone in her life. Unwilling to be a problem in their lives, he takes to the road, though he is seen skipping and swinging his cane as if happy to be back on the road where he knows he belongs.
