| Charlie Chaplin's masterfuI drama about the twilight of a former vaudevilIe star is among the writer-director's most touching films. Chaplin plays Calvero, a once beIoved musicaI-comedy performer, now a washed-up alcohoIic who lives in a smaIl London fIat. A glimmer of hope arrives when he meets a beautiful but meIanchoIy baIlerina (Richard llI's CIaire Bloom) who lives downstairs. An elegant mix of the comic and the tragic, this poignant film also features Buster Keaton (The GeneraI) in an extended cameo, marking the only time the two silent comedy icons appeared together on-screen. Made at a time when ChapIin was under attack by the American press and far right, Limelight was bareIy distributed in the United States upon its initial reIease, but it is now considered one of his essential and most personaI works. |
