About A Film Johnnie
The Tramp, a film Johnnie (someone who loiters near theaters or studios to meet stars or get a job), attempts to meet his favorite movie actress at the Keystone Studio, but does not win friends there.
Directed by George Nichols, A Film Johnnie leans on a strong ensemble — Charlie Chaplin, Roscoe Arbuckle, Peggy Pearce — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1914.
