The Tramps (1939)

Original title: Wlóczegi

dir: Michal Waszynski

The film begins during a battle of World War I. The protagonist is an unnamed Jewish private (Charlie Chaplin), who is a barber by profession and is fighting for the Central Powers in the army of the fictional nation of Tomainia (an allusion to ptomaine poisoning), comically blundering through the trenches as an explosive fight commences. Upon hearing a fatigued pilot pleading for help, the private valiantly attempts to rescue the exhausted officer, one Commander Schultz (Reginald Gardiner), as the two board Schultz's nearby airplane and fly off, escaping enemy fire in the nick of time. However, the plane quickly loses fuel and crashes into a tree; both Schultz and the unnamed private survive—the private's landing cushioned by a huge pit of wet mud.
