Charlie Chaplin - The Art of Comedy

Product Description

In 1914 Charlie Chaplin emerged from the costume shed at Hollywood's Keystone Studios wearing baggy pants, an ill-fitting jacket and a small bowler hat - snd so the tramp, the character the whole world knows and loves, was born. Here is the story of Charlie Chaplin: his brilliant career as actor, writer, producer and director, as well as his often troubled private life - his love affairs, his pursuit by the FBI and his break with the United States. An acute observer of human nature and the comic possibilities of everyday life, Chaplin changed the course of film making for ever.
