Chaplin edited his first film and directed his second with Caught In The Rain. It's somewhat of a disappointment compared to his first effort Twenty Minutes Of Love. The film seems to run smooth and has less cutting that's amateurish in comparison to films of the era. The plot; however, is typical Chaplin causing trouble and generally getting the short end of the stick. Charlie accosts a couple in the park and gets in trouble with the husband (once again). The couple retire to a hotel where Chaplin happens to go also. Of course there's a mix-up of Charlie going into their room and the wife going into his, but she's a sleep-walker of course! Things get sorted out quickly and Charlie is left in the rain. ** of 4 stars.
