Highlights from this extraordinary gathering of individuals giving tribute and examination of the loveable tramp of silent films, Charlie Chaplin.
On hand to discuss his art and character are actress Gloria Swanson (the only actress ever fired off a Chaplin movie...Swanson explains), Hollis Alpert, film critic for the Saturday Review, Archer Winston, movie critic for the new York Post; and A. Edward Sutherland, an early collaborator of Chaplin's, second unit directing two of his films, A Woman in Paris (1923) and The Gold Rush (1925).
Plenty of personal anecdotes are remembered and critical appraisal of some of his films. Also discussed topics related to Chaplin's early childhood, his first films in Hollywood, his later career and banishment from the US.
Paul Killiam is host.
NOTE: Postponed from an earlier date.
On occasion variable sound issues but entirely minimal and completely discernable.
