Description
Charlie Chaplin's life was marked by extraordinary contrasts: from humble beginnings in London's slums to becoming a multimillionaire; from on-screen clown to driven perfectionist behind the camera; and from adulated star to public fall from grace after personal and political scandal.
This biography, written with full access to Chaplin's archives, tells the whole story of a brilliant and complex man. David Robinson, a celebrated film critic and historian, brings a deep understanding of Chaplin's life and art to this monumental work.
