This review is from: Chaplin (Twayne's Filmmakers Series) (Hardcover)

Fans of Charlie Chaplin will savor this substantial volume on the silent film star, which features both a lengthy text describing Chaplin's life and career and innumerable film stills and photographs reproduced in b&w plates of the best quality. The making of each of Chaplin's films is described in detail. Examining the legendary actor's life, art, and controversial politics within the context of their times, Julian Smith did a fantastic job presenting a fresh and definitive portrait of Chaplin.
