Written, produced, directed by and starring Charlie Chaplin, Sunnyside (1919) was the third picture he made for First National Films. Upon it's release, the film was met with criticism for lack of creativity (perhaps due to struggles in Chaplin's private life), but it has since grown to become a beloved classic like most of Chaplin's work. The story has Chaplin as a hotel clerk who must vie for the love of Edna Purviance's character with charming results. The fantasy sequence scenes involving Chaplin dancing with lovely young Nymphs are particularly enchanting.
