'The Tramp' is Charles Chaplin's first great cinematic achievement. Not only because here we see The Little Tramp first time in the way the audiences love him now but it is a very well put together movie overall. The story is great and the setting up of the scenes is good. While watching Chaplin's works (almost) chronologically it is good to see how he progresses - leaving the rough slapstick out and concentrating more on the storytelling and the subtlety of the visual gags. One can say that 'The Tramp' is a milestone in Charles Chaplin's career.
