About this title

Synopsis

A portrait of Charlie Chaplin discusses the life and times of a comedic genius whose role masked a complex, sometimes tragic and turbulent, personal life

Review

Kenneth Lynn's account of this phenomenon makes a fascinating book. -- Mail on Sunday

Lynn's treatment of Chaplin is sympathetic and tolerant, and the book is far above the level of the average showbiz biography. -- Sunday Times

Neither indulgent nor awed, but both critically astute and with a deep understanding of social and cinematic history...This is, in every sense, a classic text. -- Total Film

Not the least merit of this revisionist Life is that it distinguished between the often magnificent movies and the mean-spirited man who man them. -- Sunday Telegraph
