NR

| 26min | Genre: Comedy

Rating: 3.4/5 (with 44 votes)

The Pawnshop is Charlie Chaplin's sixth film for Mutual Film Corporation. Released on October 2, 1916, it stars Chaplin in the role of assistant to the pawnshop owner, played by Henry Bergman. Edna Purviance plays the owner's daughter, while Albert Austin appears as an alarm clock owner who watches Chaplin in dismay as he dismantles the clock; the massive Eric Campbell's character attempts to rob the shop. This is one of Chaplin's more popular movies for Mutual, mainly for the slapstick comedy he was famous for at the time. ()
