Recenzii
"Lynn's richly detailed and psychologically insightful biography of Chaplin is only the second popular, comprehensive book written about this icon of pantomimic virtuosity, socially significant comedy, and cinematic innovation in a dozen years, and the first to diligently link Chaplin's traumatic childhood to his complex personality and indelible films. Lynn, whose previous books focus on writers, portrays Chaplin as a man haunted by his mother's mental illness and guided by the only things he could trust: his ability to assume roles and entertain. As Lynn analyzes Chaplin's immense ambition and irascibility and the tremendous appeal of his brilliant and edgy humour, he reveals the tangles of his uneasy associations with Hollywood colleagues and the painful outcomes of his abusive and manipulative relationships with women. Chaplin's life is truly an enormous subject, embracing, as it does, the rapid rise of the movie industry, issues of censorship, the birth of Communism and the virulent anti-Communist backlash, and all manner of familial and gender-based conflicts, and Lynn does a magisterial job of knitting it all together, allowing Chaplin to emerge as fresh and evocative as the Little Tramp in his first incarnation." - Booklist"

Descriere
This astute biography of Chaplin's life and times delves into his childhood, career, and often controversial relationships with four wives and a slew of mistresses to illuminate his elusive genius and cinematic output, as well as his sometimes reprehensible personal behavior. 66 photos.
