A Dog's Life (1918) is a silent film written, produced, and directed by Charlie Chaplin. This was Chaplin's first film for First National Films.

Chaplin plays opposite an animal as 'co-star'. 'Scraps' (the dog) was the hero in this film, as she helps Charlie and Edna toward a better life. Edna Purviance plays a dance hall singer and Charlie Chaplin, the tramp. Sydney Chaplin (Chaplin's brother) had a small role in this film; this was the first time the two brothers were on screen together.

Other films where dogs appeared on screen with Chaplin were The Champion (1915), The Gold Rush (1925), City Lights (1931), and Modern Times (1936).

The grandchildren of Hubert Selby Jr.'s ''Last Exit to Brookling'' are not well. Director John Knapich and Co-writer Tom Kelley introduces us to an urban world of hope and heartbreak in this story of two bargain basement dreamers. Set in a working-class Brooklin and featuring a colorful array of intriguing misfits, this compassionately told comic-drama, about the interviewed fates of a troubled young man and a dim-witted janitor, observes an urban America both fortified and betrayed by two-bit fantasies.

Poor Charlie lives in a vacant lot. He tries to get a job but when he gets to the head of the employment line the jobs are gone. Back "home" he rescues Scraps, a bitch being attacked by other strays. Together they manage to steal some sausages from a lunch wagon. They enter a dance hall where Edna is a singer and unwilling companion to the clientele. He is thrown out when he can't pay. Back "home" Scraps digs up a money-filled wallet buried by crooks. They return to the dance hall to find Edna fired. The wallet goes back and forth between Charlie and the crooks. Charlie, Edna and Scraps end up very happily. Written by Ed Stephan
