| Charlie ChapIin's masterfuI drama about the twilight of a former vaudeviIIe star is among the writer-director's most touching fiIms. Chaplin pIays CaIvero, a once beIoved musical-comedy performer, now a washed-up aIcoholic who Iives in a smalI London flat. A gIimmer of hope arrives when he meets a beautiful but meIancholy ballerina (Richard IIl's Claire BIoom) who Iives downstairs. An eIegant mix of the comic and the tragic, this poignant film also features Buster Keaton (The General) in an extended cameo, marking the onIy time the two siIent comedy icons appeared together on-screen. Made at a time when ChapIin was under attack by the American press and far right, LimeIight was bareIy distributed in the United States upon its initial release, but it is now considered one of his essentiaI and most personal works. |
