I love comedy movies especially Charlie Chaplin's movies. I am a big fan of him. All his movies are great fun and one will never get bored by watching his movies again and again.

(Mu) My favorite Chaplin short. All a round day, ending when he is trying to sleep the night out. There's almost an unreal atmosphere with the durnken worker trying to catch the last full tramways and mistaking a kiosk with a suassage for a bus....the glory of gags, and so inserted in story...

Charlie is an expert bricklayer. He has lots of fun and work and enjoys himself greatly while at the saloon. As he leaves work his wife takes the pay he has hidden in his hat. But he steals her purse so he can go out for the evening. He has a terrible time getting home on a very rainy night. When he does so he finds his wife waiting for him with a rolling pin.

Release date: 2 April 1922

Mustanaamio7's Movie Diary 2019 (251 movies items)

"24.3. 2019 Chaplin's masterful "Pay Day" accurately describes the repressive and repetitive life of the poor working class people. The Laborer played by Chaplin is constantly hungry and although he's got a job he doesn't earn nearly enough to support his family. It's impossible for people like him to even have a little bit of fun with his friends without some uptight jerk bothering him. Chaplin cleverly makes fun of all those mundane rutines of working class life. At work the boss is giving ord"
