The Pilgrim is a 1923 American silent film made by the First National Film Company and starring Charlie Chaplin and Edna Purviance.
The film marks the last time Edna Purviance would co-star with Chaplin and the last film he made for First National. Purviance also starred in Chaplin's A Woman of Paris (1923) which had Chaplin in a brief cameo. Not quite a feature length production, it was longer than the well known two-reel comedies of the silent era. It is also noted as the first film for Charles Riesner, who became a screenwriter in his later years.
In 1959, Chaplin included "The Pilgrim" as one of three shorts comprising "The Chaplin Revue". Slightly re-edited and fully re-scored, the film contained a lyrical song, "I'm Bound For Texas", sung by Matt Monro.
[edit] Synopsis
Chaplin plays an escaped convict who steals clothes to get rid of this prison uniform. He ends up in a small town mistaken for someone else.
