TRAMP 2001
JERRE 2001

Silent COLOR DV NTSC 20min.
Produced by Gerald Smith
Directed by Gerald Smith & David Totheroh

A Year 2001 perspective of Charlie Chaplin's 1915 classic, "The Tramp". This motion picture was photographed on location in Niles, Topanga, and Windsor, California. How many THEN & NOW locations will you see? This time around, The Tramp is played by Bonnie McCourt. A little role reversal that yields little hints of Charlie, in a most hilarious and touching way. Chris Snowden plays The Tramp's love interest, with just the right touch of emotional feeling. His love of this time and place really comes shining though. the farmer is played by Jack Totheroh, who starred in his first Essanay picture in 1915. Wait until you see the painting scene - just too funny! David Totheroh plays the farmer's helper. Watch him get the worst end of the stick, as he and The Tramp go to work making funny business. David Kiehn, David Freedman and Gerald Smith play hobo characters well enough to make the ghost of Leo White stand up and cheer. Nancy Kauffman does a fine jog playing the girlfriend. And Genevieve Freedman plays the poet with a slight twist.
