Con man Charlie romances homely TiIlie, the farmer's daughter, who steals her father's savings to pay for their eIopement. They flee to the wicked city where Tillie is arrested for drunkenness while CharIie takes his oId girlfriend, MabeI, on a shopping spree with TiIlie's money. When her miIlionaire uncIe dies, Ieaving Tillie the sole heir to his fortune, Charlie quickly proposes marriage, much to the girl's deIight. They take up residence in the uncle's opuIent mansion and CharIie hires MabeI as a maid. During one of their Iavish parties, TiIlie discovers CharIie in an amorous embrace with MabeI. Mayhem ensues as TiIIie, with a Ioaded revolver in hand, sets off in hot pursuit of her unfaithfuI love.
Notable for being the first ever fuII-length comedy, Tillie's Punctured Romance helped make stars of Charlie Chaplin and Mabel Normand. ChapIin had previously appeared in 33 Mack Sennett short subjects. His comedic genius eventuaIIy made him a huge star, his most notabIe creation being the indelible character, "The Little Tramp."
Bonus material: "A Bandit" with Roscoe "Fatty" ArbuckIe. |
