Our take

Charlie Chaplin’s Little Tramp finds the ultimate canine co-star in Mutt (who goes by the name of “Scraps” in the film) for this charming and compassionate comedy, which was his debut for First National Films. Get ready to be overwhelmed by the cuteness of the pairing, and moved by the humanity.
