A Busy Day
''A Busy Day'' is a 1914 short film starring Charlie Chaplin and Mack Swain. Plot In ''A Busy Day'', a wife (played by an energetic Charlie Chaplin) becomes jealous of her husband's interest in another woman during a military parade. On her way to attack the couple, the wife interrupts the set of a film, knocking over a film director and a police officer. Finally, the husband pushes the wife off a pier and she falls into the harbor. Notes According to the 1965 book ''The Films of Charlie Chaplin'', ''A Busy Day'' is the first of three films in which Chaplin plays a woman. The other two were '' The Masquerader'' (1914) and '' A Woman'' (1915). Chaplin used the wardrobe of fellow Keystone player Alice Davenport. It was typical for Mack Sennett to shoot Keystone comedies using real events—such as a parade—as the background for comic mayhem. This short film (about half a reel) was shot near San Pedro Harbor in less than two hours. In it, one can see interesting glimpses of F ...
