The Idle Class (Charlie Chaplin, 1921)
Now that I've entered the idle class, or at least the more idle class, it seemed an oddly well-timed moment to watch Charlie Chaplin's 1921 film The Idle Class. I didn't choose the film for that reason, but life has an odd sense of humor. Chaplin played two roles, the Little Tramp and a generally tipsy upper class wanker, while his long-standing co-starred Edna Purviance played the wife of the latter and mistaken love interest of the former. It's not nearly my favorite Chaplin film, although I liked it. Recommended.
