Amazon.com: Charlie
Chaplin was one of Hollywood's first superstars--an impossibly
agile comedian and a filmmaker whose work was ahead of his time.
He established himself as a star of silent comedies with his immortal
persona of the Little Tramp. His movies boasted both inventiveness
(The Gold Rush) and poignance (City Lights), and he survived the
transition to talkies, becoming increasingly political (The Great
Dictator). As personal problems mounted, he fled to Switzerland,
only returning to the U.S. to receive an Oscar in 1972. Still,
he admitted in his autobiography, "The world has given me
its best and little of its worst." He reciprocated the favor
in his films.
