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 The Cure (1995) film staring Brad Renfro. | |

Tropaholics Anonymous | |
| The Cure (1917) / int_1afb845c | comment |
Tropaholics Anonymous: Averted. This film actually pre-dates Alcoholics Anonymous and the idea of addict support groups by a couple of decades. They did have rehab in those days, though, and sometimes alcoholics like Charlie's character would get sent to rehab centers to dry out. | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall | |
| The Cure (1917) / int_1e7487cd | 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. | |

Iconic Outfit | |
| The Cure (1917) / int_6f33059b | comment |
Iconic Outfit: Charlie's playing a rich man in this one so he doesn't wear the Tramp get-up. But the only thing in his large steamer trunk besides liquor bottles is the Tramp's bowler hat and starched collar. He sets them carefully on his dresser. | |

Intoxication Ensues: Charlie's liquor stash is discovered by the management. A steward is ordered to throw out the bottles, and he does — right into the communal well that supplies mineral water to the guests at the spa. Everybody there gets good and drunk. | |
