The Kid is a 1921 Charlie Chaplin film which featured Jackie Coogan as his adopted son and sidekick. It was a huge success, and was the second-highest grossing film in 1921.
The Kid is about a Tramp (Chaplin) that finds an abandoned baby in an alley and takes care of him. As the baby gets older, they are perfect together and they form little schemes to scam people. It is notable as being the first feature length comedy film to effectively combine comedy and drama.
John Leslie (Jackie) Coogan (October 26, 1914 – March 1, 1984) was an American actor who began his movie career as a child actor in silent films. He got a remarkable title role in Oliver Twist by Frank Lloyd. As a child star, Coogan earned as much as $4 million, but the money was taken by his mother and step-father. He sued them in 1935 and such process bring attention to child actors and resulted in the state of California enacting the California Child Actor's Bill, sometimes known as the Coogan Bill or the Coogan Act.♥
