Synopsis

When a baby is accidentally stolen along with a car, the thieves abandon him and he ends up in the care of the kindly Tramp (played by Charlie Chaplin, who also wrote and directed the film). The Tramp looks after him until the age of five and together, the pair work a series of comical scams. According to Chaplin, this silent movie's aim was to leave the audience with "a smile, and perhaps a tear" - with little Jackie Coogan giving one of the great child acting performances as the kid.

What our educators say

"It really is a chance for us to open children's minds to the power of film not just as a vehicle for entertainment but also as a way in to understanding their own world and the worlds of people whose lives are very different."

- Marlon Perkins, Teacher, Whitstable and Seasalter Endowed CofE Junior School, Kent
