Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe house the family appears from is in reality Charles Chaplin's office.
- Goofs(at around 2 mins) As Father (Charles Chaplin) struggles with the cantankerous car, a pedestrian comes into view on the far sidewalk in the background. Either realizing a film is being shot or waved off by the crew, he turns around and walks away, but he pauses to look back over his shoulder just before he walks out of sight.

Featured review
Early Chaplin frolic that would be more searchingly examined in Bunuel or Godard.
Chaplin's shorts are beginning to look very thin - aesthetically, philosophically, comically - especially in comparison to Buster Keaton's melancholy fantasies, but A DAY'S PLEASURE has much to recommend it. Usually the Little Tramp - a disruptive rebel - Charlie is a model bourgeois here, with family and modern appurtenances. Foreshadowings of Bunuel and Godard as the family take a trip, and adverse circumstances force worst bourgeois instincts to surface: especially savage violence. Ship sequence hilarious, especially the woman with pram who dives for an embarking boat.
