A Woman
Directed by Charlie Chaplin
Produced by The Essanay Film Manufacturing Company
A lighthearted silent comedy built on physical gags and gender-play disguise, where Charlie's cross-dressing antics create romantic confusion and slapstick chaos.
Mother, father and daughter go to the park. The women doze off on a bench while the father plays a hide-and-seek game with a girl, blindfolded. Charlie leads him into a lake. Both dozing ladies on the bench fall for Charlie and invite him for dinner. The father returns home with a friend. Charlie rushes upstairs and dresses like a woman, shaving his mustache. Both men fall for Charlie.
