CIRCUS, THE (MP 1928) Charlie Chaplin, Merna Kennedy, Al Ernest Garcia, Henry Bergman, Harry Crocker, John Rand, Stanley "Tiny" Sandford, George Davis, Steve Murphy, Betty Morrissey

Charlie Chaplin once again dons the tattered threads of his iconic alter ego in this underrated effort. Desperate to elude the police who have mistaken him for a notorious pickpocket, the bumbling vagabond joins the ranks of a traveling circus.

While posing as a big top performer, the Tramp falls head over heels for an equestrienne (Merna Kennedy) who just so happens to be the daughter of the circus's no-nonsense ringmaster (Al Ernest Garcia).

Additional actors: Henry Bergman, Harry Crocker, John Rand, Stanley "Tiny" Sandford, George Davis, Steve Murphy, Betty Morrissey.

Directed by Charlie Chaplin.
