This early Chaplin film has him playing a character quite different from the Tramp for which he would become famous. He is a rich, upper-class gentleman whose romance is endangered when his girlfriend oversees him being embraced by a maid. Chaplin's romantic interest in this film, Minta Durfee, was the wife of fellow Keystone actor, Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle.
Cruel, Cruel Love was presumed a lost film for 50 years until a rather good complete nitrate copy was discovered in South America. Cruel, Cruel Love was then copied and its original two reel format is available for sale.
