A Night Out (1915)
Country: US
Technical: bw 33m
Director: Charles Chaplin
Cast: Charles Chaplin, Ben Turpin, Bud Jamison, Edna Purviance
Synopsis:
After visiting a bar and a restaurant with his friend, and victimizing a dandy out on a date, a reveller retires to his hotel and spies an attractive young female who turns out to be attached to the head waiter who ejected him from the restaurant earlier. He changes hotels to avoid him but so do they, and she follows her dog into his bedroom...
Review:
A patchy series of sketches, with the restaurant perhaps the most successful, showing Charlie at his most streamlined as a gag writer and graceful as a physical comedian. Unfortunately it ends rather abruptly, as if they had run out of film, with him landing backwards in a bath of water. Purviance, in her first film with Chaplin, is comely in a pair of pyjamas.
