Easy Street

Director: Charlie Chaplin | USA 1917 | 26 min | 16mm | Original Version | with Erich von Stroheim Jr., Tom Wood, Janet Sully

A derelict, huddled under the steps of a missionary church, feels enlightened by the sermon of a passionate preacher and infatuated by the beauty of the congregation's pianist, in such a way that he tries to improve his life of poverty by becoming a policeman. His first assignment will be to patrol along Easy Street, the turf of a vicious bully and his criminal gang.
