Hard Cover Book, The Films of Charlie Chaplin, Coffee Table Book, Reference Book, Illustrated, Photographs, Filmography

A wonderful hardcover coffee table book about The Films of Charlie Chaplin.

This book is a record in words and pictures of the work of one of the most famous men of the 20th century, the Little Tramp who brought the spark of genius to motion pictures and the great gift of laughter to his worldwide audience. From his debut in 1914 until the publication of this book, Chaplin made eighty films. Each is separately considered here, with casts, credits, synopses, and quotations from reviews. Some of the reviews, written when the films were first shown, are remarkable in their perceptiveness, and others will now seem amazing because of what the critics failed to see. All of Chaplin's films are illustrated with pictures - some of which had never before been published. The many rare stills, assembled in this country and in Europe, from private collections and film archives, make a pictorial record of memorable and hilarious moments in a great career, tracing Chaplin's creative development from the pop-art simplicity of the Keystone slapstick comedies to the artistic perfections of such masterpieces as "Easy Street," "Shoulder Arms," "The Gold Rush," and "City Lights." A section called "Chapliniana" summarizes the various guest appearances Chaplin made and tells about the strange mutations which some of his film footage underwent.

Sir Charles Spencer Chaplin KBE (1889 – 1977) was an English comic actor, filmmaker, and composer who rose to fame in the era of silent film. Chaplin became a worldwide icon through his screen persona "the Tramp" and is considered one of the most important figures in the history of the film industry. His career spanned more than 75 years, from childhood in the Victorian era until a year before his death in 1977, and encompassed both adulation and controversy.
