For the first time, Chaplin was able to craft &#8220;characters from [whom] humor develops naturally rather than do[ing] some quick slapstick immediately to hook an audience; show that he was an <em>actor<\/em> who could do comedy and not just a clown; and establish a story (part drama, part comedy) that he&#8230; needn&#8217;t dominate&#8221;. Peary further points out that this &#8220;moving film has remarkable interplay between Chaplin and Coogan, who loved each other off screen as well&#8221;, and notes that it has not only &#8220;tear-jerking scenes&#8221; but &#8220;great comic moments&#8221; as well &#8212; though he argues that the &#8220;interestingly filmed dream sequence&#8221; would &#8220;work better if it came earlier, so as not to break momentum&#8221;.  <\/p>\n<p>Peary&#8217;s review just about sums up the essence of this historically pivotal film, which paved the way for Chaplin&#8217;s future successes, and left us with some truly indelible images &#8212; most notably that of Coogan (a marvelous child actor) sobbing for his &#8220;father&#8221; while being taken away by supposedly well-meaning authority figures. To that end, the storyline <em>is<\/em> undeniably melodramatic &#8212; starting with an unwed mother who must give up her child, and ending with an unrealistically coincidental denouement. But Chaplin handles the material so well &#8212; carefully weaving moments of genuine humor into a situation rife with heartache &#8212; that we&#8217;re willing to forgive the film&#8217;s more manipulative elements. My favorite moments: Chaplin rigging an ad hoc milk bottle for the squalling infant (I can only imagine how many hours of footage perfectionist Chaplin must have shot to get the resulting sequence!); Chaplin sneaking Coogan into his bed at a shelter; Chaplin&#8217;s pockets being picked by a sleeping neighbor. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Jackie Coogan as the Kid<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/The-Kid-Coogan.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/The-Kid-Coogan.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"512\" height=\"384\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-24346\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/The-Kid-Coogan.png 512w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/The-Kid-Coogan-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/The-Kid-Coogan-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Many memorable moments<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/The-Kid-Infant.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/The-Kid-Infant.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"512\" height=\"384\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-24350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/The-Kid-Infant.png 512w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/The-Kid-Infant-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/The-Kid-Infant-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/The-Kid-Flirting.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/The-Kid-Flirting.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"512\" height=\"384\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-24349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/The-Kid-Flirting.png 512w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/The-Kid-Flirting-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/The-Kid-Flirting-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/The-Kid-Father-and-Child.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/The-Kid-Father-and-Child.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"512\" height=\"384\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-24348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/The-Kid-Father-and-Child.png 512w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/The-Kid-Father-and-Child-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/The-Kid-Father-and-Child-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/The-Kid-Pickpocket.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/The-Kid-Pickpocket.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"512\" height=\"384\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-24351\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/The-Kid-Pickpocket.png 512w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/The-Kid-Pickpocket-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/The-Kid-Pickpocket-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/The-Kid-Crying.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/The-Kid-Crying.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"512\" height=\"384\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-24347\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/The-Kid-Crying.png 512w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/The-Kid-Crying-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/The-Kid-Crying-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See?
