The Cure is a 1917 American silent short comedy film directed by Charlie Chaplin. The story follows an inebriated man who checks into a health spa, supposedly to sober up, but brings along a suitcase full of alcohol. His antics quickly disrupt the establishment, leading to a series of slapstick mishaps involving a revolving door, a gout-stricken guest, and a contaminated spa well that turns the entire resort into a drunken frenzy. The film is known for its physical comedy, clever gags, and Chaplin’s signature humor, making it a standout in early silent cinema.<br /><br />Credential<br />Directed by Charlie Chaplin<br />Produced by Henry P.
