Recreation
Directed by Charlie Chaplin
Produced by Keystone Film Company
A lighthearted silent slapstick comedy where romantic rivalry escalates into absurd physical chaos, culminating in everyone tumbling into a pond.
Charlie begins to woo a woman on a bench, only to have her seaman boyfriend object. After a brick fight between the two men that eventually involves two police officers, all five people end up in the local pond to cool off.
