Drinking & thinking


One A.M. (1916)

Directed by Edward Brewer and star Charlie Chaplin this film also features Albert Austin. Returning home from a night out drinking out hero finds simple tasks difficult to complete.

Taking a simple scenario this short film builds an entertaining comedy routine. There are plenty of laughs and this film shows hints of the longer films Chaplain would go on to make. A fun distraction but not the star's best work yet.

3/5
