Overview
A painter turned tramp (Chaplin), devastated by losing the woman he was courting as a wealthy man, finds himself drunk and getting drunker by the minute with some sailors at a bar until he's literally falling down. He keeps futilely trying to draw the woman's picture on the floor with a piece of chalk until he finally passes out cold (or perhaps dies, as in the poem) at the end of the film.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A silent slapstick elegy where Chaplin's descent into drunken despair becomes increasingly pitiful and ridiculous, mining pathos from physical comedy as he deteriorates.
