Shoulder Arms, reissued for a new swing around
around the theatrical circle, apparently, and primed to refresh
the popular memory of it as one of the best things
Chaplin has ever done. It is one of the few war films able

because, before anything else, it is human. It is not
primarily about the war. Except in its more
extravagant fooling, it is about life, and it accomplishes
the salutary purpose of making you laugh at the
life it shows. Structurally it could be stronger, as a comic
unit, but Chaplin himself makes so many of its
scenes complete as comic units in themselves that you
take it as a series of sharply pointed incidents
rather than as a constructed whole. And what incidents
they are!“ (...)
