Witnessing the stylistic evolution of Charles Chaplin through Nice and Friendly is profound, audiences who connected with its message often look for similar thematic gravity. Each of these movies shares a piece of the cinematic excellence that made Nice and Friendly so special.
The synthesis of form and function in Nice and Friendly to establish Charles Chaplin as a true visionary of the 1922s.
There is no real plot in this little short, who was made only as a wedding present for Lord and Lady Mountbatten. The main plot line is that Lady Mountbatten has a valuable pearl necklace, which a very large number of crooks wants to steal. Charlie Chaplin, even though he is wearing his tramp costume, is called to hunt the crooks, which he does with a wooden hammer, which appears suddenly in his hand. Then the unconscious crooks are all lined up on the lawn, close to Jackie Coogan, who was, at the beginning of the film, hidden there under a blanket, for no apparent reason whatsoever!!
Nice and Friendly was a significant production in United States, showcasing the immense talent of Eulalia Neilson, Edwina Mountbatten, Frederick Neilson. It continues to be a top recommendation for anyone studying Short history.
