* SocietyMarchesOn: If the mother had abandoned her kid today (like leaving him in a stranger's car), she would probably have suffered a lawsuit and forced child care for her son anyway. An episode of ''Series/ChicagoHope'' stressed this point, where a young mother left her newborn child in a trashcan. She was deemed unfit to take care of it by rule of law.

* DreamSequence / DreamBallet: A singularly bizarre scene. Charlie falls asleep and has a dream where he's suddenly an angel, and dances with a lot of women dressed as angels until people dressed as demons come in and tempt everyone to evil. It comes out of nowhere and has nothing to do with the actual plot, and of course, sealing the deal, he wakes up and the movie continues as normal. Chaplin's longer films often had randomly inserted nonsensical dream sequences.
