Film Notes

This one-reeler was a landmark film for Chaplin: his first movie as solo director. It was also his story and script, and he was the star. Surprisingly, in view of his struggles for a chance to direct, he tells us: “When I started directing my first picture, I was not as confident as I thought I would be; in fact, I had a slight attack of panic. But after Sennett saw the first day’s work I was reassured. Caught in the Rain was not a world-beater, but it was funny and quite a success. When I finished it, I was anxious to know Sennett’s reaction. I waited for him as he came out of the projection room. ‘Well, are you ready to start another?’ he said”.
