The Face on the Bar Room Floor is a short film written and directed by Charlie Chaplin in 1914.

[1] Chaplin stars in this film, loosely based on the poem of the same name by Hugh Antoine d'Arcy.

A devastated tramp (Charlie Chaplin) visits a crowd-filled bar and recounts the story of how he fell in love with a woman and then had her taken by a friend of his.

Drunk, he keeps trying to draw the woman's picture on the floor with a piece of chalk, and gets into fights with other men in the process.

According to Chaplin expert Gerald D. McDonald, "The subtitles of the film were lines from the poem, but the original verses were altered to match the Keystone credo that life is a funny game at best."
