The Tramp arrives in America, then goes out to dinner without money.

Over-rated, and nowhere near as funny as his feature films. I suppose it's regarded as highly as it is because it's important more than because it's good. Perhaps it's one of the first comedies to have pathos, rather than just people falling down? Personally, I would prefer more falling down; that's what Chaplin's good at. (No, on second thought, what Chaplin's good at is almost but not quite falling down. There's none of that sort of brilliance in this movie.)
