Caught in the Rain is a 1914 American comedy silent film starring Charlie Chaplin.

The short film was produced by Mack Sennett for Keystone Studios with a running time of 16 minutes.

The action starts in a park, where a man is trying to romance a matronly woman, wearing a fur stole.

The man leaves to go to a concession stall, Cornucopias, and Charlie comes along in his infamous tramp costume and tries to give her a rose.

He arrives at the same hotel and after propositioning a girl outside, enters, falling over a man's gout-bound leg at the reception desk.

He makes several more dangerously balanced comical attempts, hitting the gout-bound man and his two female friends in the process.

His key doesn't fit but the door is open and he enters, at first not seeing the couple due to his drunken state.

According to Mack Sennett's biography, many of the usual Keystone directors assembled to watch a private screening of Caught in the Rain.

They arrived expecting to see an inferior comedy but instead they were all impressed by Chaplin's maiden effort at directing and applauded enthusiastically when the movie ended.
