Writer/director/producer/composer/star Charlie Chaplin does a great job with his first feature length movie "The Kid". "The Kid" is a great looking movie. (I watched the Criterion version that aired on Turner Classic Movies. That might account for how great the movie looked as opposed to other versions that might be out there.) Chaplin is at the top of his game and Jackie Coogan is right there with him. The are a lot of laughs in "The Kid". The sentimental parts work well too. The dream sequence is a little out there but it still has its moments. I've seen "The Kid" a few time now. I appreciate more and more with each viewing.
