Product Review

A unique film on the life and work of Charlie Chaplin made with Chaplin's cooperation during the last years of his life. With narration by Walter Matthau, Laurence Olivier, and Jack Lemmon and scenes of Chaplin at home shot by Nestor Almendros. Nominated for a Golden Globe, the film was described by Bruce Willilamson in Playboy as "A film that every man, woman and child in the civilized world - particularly in America - owes it to himself to see." Judith Crist said, "This film has captured the quintessence of the artist and his art and done so in terms accessible to everyone." Produced by Bert Schneider. Written, directed, edited and now lovingly restored by Richard Patterson. Includes a booklet with a lengthy essay on the making of the film.
