Assessment (Easy Street) :
Quintessential Chaplin, combining sentimentality and social comment with hilarious slapstick.

Assessment (The Cure) :
One of the funniest of the Chaplin shorts, with no pathos intervening (nor come to that much plot); it is simply a succession of balletic slapstick scenes of the highest order.
