GETTING ACQUAINTED.

The next to last of the films Charlie Chaplin made for Sennett presents a romantic pursuit in a park, with little plot, a hectic pace, and numerous comic touches. Chaplin and Mabel flirt with each other in a park, each of them married to someone else. Charlie's wife is bigger and stronger than he is; Mabel's husband is policeman. The result is inspired mayhem.

Getting Acquainted was the next-to-last movie Chaplin made for Keystone Studios. It marked the final time he appeared in the same film as Mabel Normand. Charlie and his domineering wife, Mrs. Sniffles, run afoul of pretty blonde woman and fez-wearing escort.
