A propos de cet article

The genius of Charlie Chaplin lies in his humanity and the compassion for the little man he personified as "The Tramp." He is the Everyman of yesterday, today and tomorrow. Chaplin the man and the artist are indivisible. To tell the story of the man is to tell the story of his art. This book distills the essence of both. Theodore Huff traces Chaplin's life from his early Dickensian days in the streets, orphanage and music halls of London to his early American acting debut with the Karno Company in New York and to the flowering of his spectacular career from the early days in Hollywood to the post World War II period. Born to vaudevillian parents in 1889, Chaplin was to become by 1915 and remain to the present day not only a legend in motion picture history in his own lifetime but a citizen of the world. This remarkable book takes you step-by-step as a witness to the odyssey of an artist. You learn from the very beginning who Chaplin was and what he was trying to do with his great genius. Here are the early Chaplin days with Mack Sennett at Keystone, Essanay and with Mutual Company. You learn how Chaplin hit on his world-famous costume by accident m 1913 and how he developed the mannerisms that were to identify him to millions throughout the world. Theodore Huff analyzes in depth and with great perception all the films that Chaplin made - the great as well as the least successful ones. He takes you behind the scenes and on the scene in "Tillie's Punctured Romance," "A Dog's Life," "The Kid," "A Woman of Paris," "The Gold Rush," "City Lights," "Modern Times," "The Great Dictator," "Monsieur Verdoux." He also takes you to the never-never land days of Hollywood where you meet the stars of the day-Gloria Swanson, Pola Negri, Edna Purviance, Ben Turpin, Mack Swain, Chester Conklin and many others. Chaplin's life is in reality the story of motion pictures. Off the screen and away from the studios, Chaplin remains even in private life King of the World. Here too are the stories of love, his marriages, children, the heartaches and the law suite. As befitting a king, Chaplin takes a trip around the world in 1933 and returns in triumph to London. By 1940 Chaplin becomes the target of violent press attacks. In Congress he is called a communist. In his chapter on Chaplin and politics, Theodore Huff gives you an incisive view into Chaplin's heart and thought and ends his story with an entire chapter devoted to the significance of "Monsieur Verdoux". Chaplin's only film of the 1940s, it is a failure and comes during the time of Chaplin's greatest personal and professional trials. A memorable postscript brilliantly foretells the even greater heights that Chaplin would achieve in the decades to follow. The book includes many marvelous photographs of Chaplin off and on screen and an index to his films with brilliant biographical sketches of the people professionally associated with him.
