Twenty Minutes of Love (1914) Charlie Chaplin & Joseph Maddern
Twenty Minutes of Love is a 1914 film, directed by Joseph Maddern and Charlie Chaplin. It was the eleventh film starring Charlie Chaplin produced by Keystone and the first time that producer Mack Sennett let Chaplin try his hand at the camera and actively collaborate on the film with his ideas.
Filmed in just one afternoon at Echo Park in Los Angeles, this one-reel comedy, which Chaplin called "continuous laugh throughout" in his autobiography, is a variation on the theme of the park, the policeman and the pretty girl.
Chaplin recounted that throughout the afternoon of filming he played a newly released ragtime piece Too Much Mustard by Cecil Macklin, on whose notes Fred Astaire and Ginger Rodgers would dance 25 years later in The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle
