Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
In the centenary of his birth, much has already been published about one of the most closely scrutinized figures in film history. Maland's intention is take Charlie in the "context" of his times, to examine how he fell from grace (and was rehabilitated), both as a film artist and as a public figure. Maland is stronger on the latter, detailing Chaplin's agonizing paternity suit and his subsequent political persecution and final exile to Switzerland. But there is little new here, either in material unearthed or fresh insights. The superior work on the same subject is David Robinson's Chaplin: The Mirror of Opinion (LJ 11/1/83).
- Thomas Wiener, formerly with "American Film"

Review
[Here is] the story behind Charlie Chaplin's rise and fall from grace in the public eye, his attempts to redeem his stardom, his twenty-year banishment from the United States, and his qualified rapprochement.... [Maland] puts us in touch with those times past but also confronts us with those still-lurking societal instincts that urge a culture's killing of its prophets. -- Review
