About
In his last film as the Little Tramp, Charlie Chaplin cannot keep pace with the assembly line. He barrels his way through the job leading to disastrous results: a trip to the hospital and jail. Made as a response to rapid industrial development, the film is uncharacteristically politicised for Chaplin in its unflattering yet hilarious portrayal of factory working conditions.
