Charlie Chaplin’s “The Knockout” (1914) – Classic Silent Comedy Short

Step into the golden era of silent comedy with The Knockout (1914), a hilarious short film featuring Charlie Chaplin in a supporting role as a bumbling referee. While Chaplin steals the spotlight, the story follows Fatty Arbuckle as he enters the boxing ring for fame and romance.
