Twenty years before his famous skating scene in "Modern Times", Charlie Chaplin donned roller skates in "The Rink", wherein he plays a waiter who likes to go to the skating rink after work. Much like how in "Saturday Night Fever" John Travolta's character gets to shine on the disco floor, Charlie Chaplin's character in this breezy comedy gets to shine on the skating rink (and woo girls).
Chaplin's career was still in its early stages at this point, so the emphasis is on physical comedy. It would still be a few years before Chaplin's movie's would get political. Even so, you're sure to enjoy this one.
