4/10
Film on film (again)

Warning: Spoilers
"His New Job" is a black-and-white silent movie from Charlie Chaplin made exactly 100 years ago. Anniversary time! Chaplin made several films about work at stage or actor's life and this is one of them. When he tries to get cast, he causes all kinds of chaos as you probably expected already. He also directed this 30-minute movie. In terms of the cast here, you will find many of the names who appeared regularly in Chaplin's films plus a guy named Hitchcock. No idea if he was related to Alfred. Oh yeah, legendary actress Gloria Swanson is in here as well, one of the few names you could recognize from the cast. Of course, she only plays a minor character and this was long before her rise to stardom, but still. All in all, not too great or entertaining. Not recommended.
