Goofs | (at around 2 mins) As Father (Charles Chaplin) struggles with the cantankerous car, a pedestrian comes into view on the far sidewalk in the background. Either realizing a film is being shot or waved off by the crew, he turns around and walks away, but he pauses to look back over his shoulder just before he walks out of sight. See more » |
