Review of Pay Day

Pay Day (I) (1922)
7/10
Hefty Paycheck
31 January 2021
'Pay Day' might be the finest Chaplin's short film. It was made after his feature debut and was to become his last short film. 'Pay Day' is meticulously fast-paced, every frame carries the story forward and offers us some neat stunt or joke. With this movie, Charles Chaplin entered into his peak performance with comedic timing.

The first part, when we follow The Tramp through his workday is more action-packed than the second part, where we see him dealing with his wife. Or, is it? - NO, the action is just smaller. The same amount of clever tricks, but more subtle. More attention is needed to pay on every detail.

'Pay Day' is a fantastically amusing film that offers a nice paycheck to the viewer also with many laughs
