According to Kevin Brownlow and David Gill's documentary series Unknown Chaplin, the first scenes to be written and filmed take place in what became the movie's second half, in which the penniless Tramp finds a coin and goes for a meal in a restaurant, not realising that the coin has fallen out of his pocket.
Prema seriji dokumentaraca Kevina Brownlowa i Davida Gilla, Nepoznati Chaplin, scene koje su napisane i snimljene prve, postale su dio drugog dijela filma, u kojem Skitnica bez prebijene pare pronalazi novčić i odlazi u restoran kako bi ručao, ne shvaćajući da je novčić ispao iz njegova džepa.
