- Plot: "It Happened One Day" is a pleasant Charley Chase comedy that he also directed. It's not among his best films he made for Hal Roach Studios, but it is enjoyable.The story begins with a grouchy man tripping over Charley. Soon, the guy is spitting mad and the man also turns out to be Charley's new boss. Oddly, although the man hates him, he doesn't fire him but sends him to run the Long Beach office (Long Beach is in the suburbs of Los Angeles). However, after sending Charley, he learns his daughter is also heading to Long Beach and the boss tries to stop get a hold of Charley, as he's afraid the pair will meet and he'll be stuck with an idiot for a son-in-law!There are some funny bits here and there, such as the final few minutes of the picture. But a few gags had poor timing and were over-used...such as the sneezing and tripping bits. Overall, a mixed bag but a mostly pleasant little film.By the way, the title to this is a parody of the VERY successful "It Happened One Night"....which also came out in 1934 and garnered five Oscars!
