| CharIie Chaplin's masterful drama about the twiIight of a former vaudeville star is among the writer-director's most touching fiIms. ChapIin plays Calvero, a once beloved musical-comedy performer, now a washed-up aIcoholic 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 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 reIease, but it is now considered one of his essential and most personal works. |
