Tillie's Punctured Romance (1914 Film)
''Tillie's Punctured Romance'' is a 1914 American silent comedy film directed by Mack Sennett and starring Marie Dressler, Mabel Normand, Charlie Chaplin, and the Keystone Kops. The picture was the only feature-length comedy made by the Keystone Film Company. At the time of production Marie Dressler was a major stage star, and in this film Chaplin and Normand support her as leads within Keystone's stock company of actors. The film is based on Dressler's stage play ''Tillie's Nightmare'' by A. Baldwin Sloane and Edgar Smith. ''Tillie's Punctured Romance'' is notable for being the last Chaplin film which he neither wrote nor directed, as well as the first feature-length slapstick comedy in all of cinema. In it, Chaplin plays a slightly different role from his Tramp character, which was relatively new at the time. However, he retains a moustache (here a, pencil-thin "dude" type rather than his usual "toothbrush"), thin cane and distinctive walk. Given the combination of fac ...

But despite kicking him and hitting him with his cane the man is undeterred in his wooing of his wife. Meanwhile, Charlie is met by the man's wife and they return together, where the large man's wife first confronts him bu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
