The Immigrant |
This is a classic for film students. Charlie Chaplin (Limelight, 1952, The Great Dictator, 1940) stars in this silent picture about a little tramp traveling steerage to immigrate to the U.S. He is a member of the throngs who came at the beginning of the 1900s. He shows us what this felt like with the humor and poignancy only Chaplin possessed.
Year Released: 1917
