Film Notes

In The Knockout, (…) Chaplin played a two-minute supporting role as referee to a boxing bout between Roscoe Arbuckle and Edgar Kennedy. It is a lively little performance that anticipates The Champion and City Lights. Chaplin’s refereeing is balletic, and introduces gags of a sophistication alien to the rest of the film. Worse hit than the pugilists, he lies down and drags himself around the ring by the ropes; then counts the loser out from a sitting position.
