Tillie's Punctured Romance
1914 · 82 min · US
Directed by Mack Sennett
Mack Sennett's first feature, 1914: Marie Dressler as Tillie, Chaplin as the city slicker who robs her, Mabel Normand as the other woman. Six reels, Keystone, the first American feature comedy. Chaplin is not the Tramp; he is a villain in a bowler. Dressler, already a stage star, is the movie: a country girl in a city that exists to fleece her. It is clumsy, long, and the moment slapstick decided it could last an hour.
