    Dough & Dynamite, 1914, Chaplin

    Dough and Dynamite just sounds funny, doesn't it? This was the 29th film out of 35 Chaplin would star in for Keystone in 1914. He directs from a Mack Sennett script. Although I think this movie is just as primitive as all of the others in these early movie factory days for Chaplin, this one holds many funny moments. Such as body weight size flour bags dropping on peoples' heads from at least 12 feet up; sneaking dynamite into a loaf of bread that will then be 'cooked;' repeatedly touching a cast iron oven with a bare hand. A frequent character in the union plays into this plot. Dough and Dynamite is a struggle at close to half an hour but there are some genuine laughs in it that make it worth the once through.
