Charlie Chaplin - A Gentleman of Nerve

Tumble into a whirlwind of slapstick with A Gentleman of Nerve, a rollicking 1914 Keystone Comedy where Charlie Chaplin, under Mack Sennett’s madcap helm, spins chaos into silent gold. This archival gem—etched in flickering black-and-white—unleashes the Little Tramp at a racetrack: bowler hat tilted, cane twirling, he bumbles into a crowd, eyeing a dame and dodging a burly rival. The camera reels as pratfalls cascade—Chaplin trips over bleachers, tussles with cops, sneaks past gates—each gag a stitch in a riotous romp. Faces smear with pie, trousers tear, and dignity skids—all underscored by a piano’s jaunty plink. A mid-20th-century lens on a 1914 classic, it’s Chaplin’s nerve meeting Keystone’s anarchy, pure and uncomplaining.
