USA
Short Film
Writer/Director: Charles Chaplin
Cinematographer: Roland Totheroh
Cast: Charles Chaplin, Edna Purviance, Syd Chaplin, Jack Wilson, Henry Bergman, Tom Wilson, Loyal Underwood

Chaplin’s class conscious war film, following the misadventures of an American recruit in France in 1918, highlighting the privations suffered by those involved during WWI and the absurdity of war, is an amusing, biting, and somewhat atypical Chaplin short. Iain.Stott
