"A Night Out" is a black-and-white silent short film from over 100 years ago written by, directed by and starring Charlie Chaplin. The most interesting aspect probably has nothing to do with the story or with Chaplin's longtime co-star Edna Purviance being in a Chaplin film for the first time, it must be the attempt to introduce a co-lead to Chaplin. And while Ben Turpin was very talented and prolific actor, it just wasn't working out. Their attempt was not the physical difference in a Stan&Ollie scenario, but the difference in age between Chaplin and Turpin. This is not the only problem with this 35 minute film. I think the comedic material wasn't even there or convincing, not even for such a running time. Then again, this was much longer than Chaplin's other short films from around that era. I have seen a lot of his early works and this one here is not among his best. Thumbs down.
