They've been chasing him by the dozen and now he's one of them. Imagine Charly police officer...and of course it will provide funny scenes like the one with the gas lantern but it will also lead to how hope and love chases away evil and brings joy, or what do you think.

In between, of course, there are the Charly-faithful social, human aspects or how the people naturally side with the strongest and how helpfulness is not always rewarded according to value.

Chaplin to the fullest and still guaranteed movie fun.

And with Easy Street we are moving in the right direction again. After the good The Adventurer and the slightly disappointing The Cure.

Although, it is a bit of a search in the beginning with the bum in the church, something that takes too long in my opinion and where too little happens. But once Chaplin is in the police uniform and on his way to the infamous neighborhood and street, the whole thing ignites. The location and the scum are beautiful, great role by Eric Campbell who makes short work of half the corps in the police station and anyway the scene with the lamppost is special and fun, with a nice apotheosis as a result. This one is better, on to the last one.

As far as possible, this had to get started. We had to wait for our friend to put on his police uniform. Usually the policeman is after him, but now it was he who had to keep order. And that was necessary with that colossus that stirred up the neighborhood.

The rubber bat had little effect and so he had to take his chances. Nice intermezzos, both on the street, in the apartment or in the police station. Nice role from Eric Campbell.

Typical and repetitive Chaplin, but still entertaining of course.
