A Woman

'A Woman' is a simplistic but not a simple movie. An easy premise whose only purpose is for Chaplin to dress up as a woman. He makes a quite convincing and gorgeous one (I couldn't help but notice how much Geraldine Chaplin looked and smiled like her father). The plot is simple and it can't hold much criticism - it can raise some serious questions when to think about it too deep. The physical stunts played in the park are clever. The build-ups are as amusing as the punchlines. Of course, when Charlie finally gets dressed as a woman, the jokes become a little bit riskier (but not less clever). It's easy to see why this film was forbidden in some countries.

Some other reviewer wrote: not a perfect Chaplin short - to which I want to replay: how many perfect Chaplin shorts are there? Anyway, 'A Woman' is worthy to see because of cleverly staged physical comedy (and gorgeous Charlie). Although, I agree, far from Chaplin's greatest, it is a joyous watch.
