Mtembezi mmoja mpweke anapata mtoto mchanga aliyeachwa na kumlea kama wake. Miaka kadhaa baadaye, wanapojitahidi kuishi pamoja, mama halisi wa mvulana huyo, ambaye sasa ni mwimbaji tajiri wa opera, anatamani kuungana tena na mwanawe aliyepotea, jambo linaloleta maigizo ya kugusa hisia na vichekesho vya slapstick.

Two Little Tramps The most amazing thing about Charlie Chaplin’s The Kid is that it was released in January of 1921. That makes this film 100 years old!…
RecommendedTrusted family reviewersCute and funny. It is difficult to say anything new from this movie or Charles Chaplin. He just delivers a complete story with a lot of different elements. Remarkable is also the performance of Jackie Coogan.
