abstract:The Pawnshop was 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.
Beautiful and brown, the tiny creature lands next in a sleazy pawnshop, then in the cramped Prague apartment of a childless couple, dreamy Mila (Natasa Burger), who has wanted a baby desperately, and her rent-a-cop mate, Franta (Jiri Machacek), who can't adopt because of his criminal past as a soccer hooligan.
