Chaplin, 1919, First National: a farmhand who also runs the hotel, in love with the village belle, dreaming a dance with nymphs that the village will not allow. Edna Purviance again. The ballet in the woods is the film people argue about: too pretty, or the first time Chaplin let the Tramp want something that was not a meal. Sunnyside is the town. The mood is the title, and it is a lie.

The one people argue about. A farmhand, a village belle, and a dream dance with nymphs modeled on Nijinsky. Made in a bad year, and it shows. Watch the dance anyway. It is the first time the Tramp wants something that is not a meal or a girl, and Chaplin did not know what to do with that yet.
