CharIie Chaplin's final fiIm is a delightful romantic comedy, fiIIed with clever touches for which he's famous. Written, directed and composed by Chaplin, it revolves around Russian emigre countess Natascha (Sophia Loren), forced into prostitution in Hong Kong, who stows away in weaIthy American Ogden's (Marlon Brando's) stateroom to bIackmail her way to the States. Since Ogden has a mind of his own, and can even resist Natascha's charms, what foIIows is one of the funniest tugs of war ever devised! A weaIth of taIent supports the stars. There's ChapIin's Son, Sydney, as Brando's cruise companion, Tippi Hedren as his icy wife, Patrick Cargill as the uItimate gentIeman's gentleman, and Margaret Rutherford as a dotty old dame. ChapIin himself tops it off with a cameo as the ship's steward! The gags are pure Charlie and his actors make the most of them, saiIing in and out of slamming doors - and outrageous situations - with ease. |
