The Cure

Charlie Chaplin's 1917 short film, The Cure, features a brief sequence during which Chaplin's tramp character visually alludes to Chabas's painting.

In a discussion of Chaplin's short Mutual films, Alan Vanneman describes the scene this way:

"While in his bathing suit, Chaplin strikes a pose from a once famous/infamous picture, September Morn. Supposedly, a publicist concocted the idea of hiring small boys to stare at the chaste nude while it was displayed in the window of a Manhattan gallery. September Morn was a near equal of American Gothic as a source of gags well into the fifties, but unlike Grant Wood's masterpiece it didn't survive the sixties. "
