Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Cure is a 1917 short comedy film directed by and starring Charlie Chaplin.Here Chaplin plays not his usual Tramp character, but a drunken rich fop who has been sent to a health spa to dry out. While there he manages to irritate a large man (Eric Campbell, Chaplin's regular heavy) and romance a pretty girl (Edna Purviance). Apparently he's there involuntarily, because he certainly isn't going to stop drinking, health spa or no health spa.Not to be confused with the post-punk group or the 1995 feature film staring Brad Renfro.

comment
Breaking the Fourth Wall: During the confrontation between Charlie, Edna, and Eric Campbell, Edna denounces Campbell in a very artificial, theatrical way. Campbell turns away from her with another exaggerated, theatrical gesture. Charlie then does a little stage bow for the camera.

Hangover Sensitivity: The guests at the spa are much the worse for wear the morning after getting trashed on Charlie's liquor.

The Alcoholic: Charlie's been sent to a spa to get sober. His steamer trunk is packed full of liquor bottles. He has a corkscrew on his keychain.

Contortionist: The man getting worked on in the spa before Charlie, which quickly turns him off to the idea.

Abhorrent Admirer: Eric Campbell's hulking, lecherous gout victim is this to Edna Purviance, who is horrified at his leering at her.

Drugs Are Good: The health spa looks a lot more fun after everyone there accidentally gets drunk on Charlie's liquor stash.
