A Busy Day is a 1914 short film starring Charlie Chaplin and Mack Swain.

[1] In A Busy Day, a wife (played by an energetic Charlie Chaplin) becomes jealous of her husband's interest in another woman during a military parade.

It was typical for Mack Sennett to shoot Keystone comedies using real events—such as a parade—as the background for comic mayhem.

This short film (about half a reel) was shot near San Pedro Harbor in less than two hours.

A reviewer from Bioscope noted, "[Chaplin] gives an amazing exhibition of acrobatic humor."
