The Idle Class Ratings & Reviews
Billboard
Marion Russell
Another typical "Charles Chaplin" type of screen product with all the little bits of side play and original touches which prove this comedian gives considerable thought to his work.
Film Threat
Alan Ng
The perfect first film for anyone who wants an introduction to the Little Tramp. His talents are on full display.
LIFE
Henry William Hanemann
Without offering anything actually new, or extending himself overly, [Chaplin] has provided sufficiently. The material is unpretentious yet adequate. We laughed.
New York Daily News
Mabel McElliott
I think all Chaplin fans will have a whale of a time with The Idle Class.
New York Tribune
Harriette Underhill
The Idle Class is quite different from anything Chaplin has done, and we like it better than anything, excepting Shoulder Arms and The Kid.
Cine-Mundial
Francisco J. Ariza
The movie will make one laugh, and even though it's not "The Kid," one has to remember that masterpieces are not made every five minutes. [Full Review in Spanish]
