Charlie Chaplin - One A.M.

One A.M. is a brilliant showcase of Charlie Chaplin’s solo comedic genius. Unlike many of his other films, this short features almost no supporting characters, relying entirely on Chaplin’s physical comedy and impeccable timing. The film follows a drunken man’s struggle to simply get inside his own house and go to bed. Everyday objects—like a staircase, a table, a clock, and even his own bed—turn into his worst enemies, creating a series of hilarious mishaps. Chaplin’s ability to turn simple actions into elaborate slapstick sequences makes this a masterpiece of silent comedy. With no dialogue, One A.M. proves that comedy doesn’t need words—it needs timing, creativity, and physical skill, all of which Chaplin executes flawlessly. It’s a must-watch for fans of classic comedy and a perfect example of why Chaplin remains one of the greatest comedians in cinema history.
