Charlie Chaplin's 41st Film Released April 11 1915.
The Tramp was Charlie Chaplin's sixth film for Essanay Studios in 1915. Directed by Chaplin, it was the fifth and last film made at Essanay's Niles, California studio. The Tramp marked the beginning of The Tramp character most known today, even though Chaplin played the character in earlier films. This film marked the first departure from his more slapstick character in the earlier films, with a sad ending and showing he cared for others, rather than just himself. The film co-stars Edna Purviance as the farmer's daughter and Ernest Van Pelt as Edna's father. The outdoor scenes were filmed on location near Niles

Reviewer:russderry - - March 21, 2008 Subject: the tramp charlie chaplin was a great actor in a time that good acting could be overlooked by every critic because of no sound. in closer examination however, it is fairly simple to judge this man as a movie genius because he could make the audience laugh without the use of slapstick comedy and at the same time make them sry or feel sad for the tramp. all this was accomplished without sound which is a nessity in today's movies.too all you fans who have never seen too many of chaplin's work, watch them with an open mind and remember that it was over some odd 90 years ago.
Reviewer:packyman - - April 7, 2007 Subject: chaplin is 'god' it's hard to review a chaplin film with anything lower than a 3. seriously, the man was a genius. this is a good, solid movie with classic slapstick and premise made famous by chaplin.
