I finally got around to seeing this classic, and I immediately regretted waiting so long. It simply took my breath away. Jackie Coogan's performance is absolutely superb. He did so much more than just look cute (though he does plenty of that!). He showed an uncanny instinct for real acting, his most amazing performance being when he's taken away from Charlie Chaplin and forcibly put in the back of the truck. Incredibly moving. Major props to Chaplin for working with this little guy to bring out his best. Jackie Coogan more than deserved to be America's first child star.
