Sunnyside (Charlie Chaplin, 1919)
I'm continuing my effort to acquaint myself with short films, and that includes working my way through the Charlie Chaplin silent film collection on the Criterion Channel. With that in mind, last night I watched Chaplin's 1919 film Sunnyside. Chaplin's character Charlie (not quite the Little Tramp) works at a shabby hotel is a French village, and he's just about as bad at his work as you could imagine. The scene of him getting in and out of bed at 3:30 is classic. Edna Purviance, per usual, plays his love interest. Recommended.
