Very entertaining stone-old short from The Maestro. Chaplin arrives with a large trunk full of alcoholat a clinic/spa to kick his alcohol addiction. His alcoholic walk is even more fun than his always characteristic walk. In addition, there are a lot of successful jokes. I think that jokes are milked out in the short itself is part of the times. In any case, it is no less fun.

Continuing with The Cure, which is regarded as good by many, but could not appeal to me as much.

The speed and dynamics from The Adventurer are traded in for some more bland nonsense with some familiar faces from the previous films. Nice is the idea with the drink supply and where it ends up, but the nicest are the firm massage and the revolving door in the beginning. This entertained me a little less than The Adventurer, but nevertheless a sufficient one.
