There is some debate as to whether this film was Chaplin's directorial debut. In his autobiography, Charlie cites
Caught In The Rain, released two weeks later, as the first fim he directed. However, in a letter to his brother, Sydney, from August 1914, Charlie lists the films in which he had appeared marking six of them as "my own," with
Twenty Minutes Of Love being the first (below).
