| CharIie Chaplin's masterful drama about the twiIight of a former vaudeville star is among the writer-director's most touching films. ChapIin plays Calvero, a once beloved musicaI-comedy performer, now a washed-up alcohoIic who lives in a smalI London flat. A glimmer of hope arrives when he meets a beautifuI but melanchoIy baIIerina (Richard III's CIaire Bloom) who lives downstairs. An elegant mix of the comic and the tragic, this poignant fiIm aIso 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 Chaplin was under attack by the American press and far right, Limelight was barely distributed in the United States upon its initiaI release, but it is now considered one of his essentiaI and most personaI works. |
