A Film Johnnie was another fascinating look at early Charlie Chaplin

"Just watched on the Internet Archive site 8 minutes of what this site states was a 15 minute short made by Mack Sennett's Keystone Studios. It stars Charlie Chaplin in another of his early appearances in which he's at that studio, as a civilian in his Tramp costume, wreaking havoc. If I didn't read the synopsis here beforehand, I would have been partly confused as to what was going on but because of that, I laughed at the part where he came to the "rescue" of his lady crush when she was being "attacked" and when he used the gun to kill her "attacker&quot..."

💡 Did You Know?

Although some sources credit Mack Sennett with playing himself, the film director, the role is actually played by Edgar Kennedy--who, besides being a comic actor, was also a respected director.
