This movie has my favorite scene of all Chaplin fare. The maze of mirrors sequence always gives me goose bumps. I am not 100% certain that he was the first filmmaker to do this (Georges Melies may have used such trickery) but for it to be 1928 and capture the scene in front of several mirrors without the camera or crew being seen amazes me. I have not had one bad experience watching Chaplin films. I recommend anything with his name on it from Kid Auto Races to Limelight. (Ive not seen King in New York nor Countess in Hong Kong, though I will as time and accessibility permit) I believe being a true film lover means going back to its great roots and Chaplin movies are a great starting point if you love comedies, then treat your palate to some Buster Keaton, WC Fields, or Harold Lloyd,
