This was a VHS tape that I got. It appears to be a bit different from the DVD of the same title. This is the story of the making of three Chaplin films, The Kid, The Gold Rush and Cithy Lights.

There are extensive interviews with his leading ladies, including his second wife, Lita Grey.

Not surprisingly, they all thought Charlie Chaplin was a genius and a perfectionist. He had quite a difficult and trying relationship with Virginia Cherrill, the leading lady in City Lights, which is often regarded as his masterpiece.

anyone who wants to see Chaplin at work, as himself and dressed as the Little Tramp.

the part where he is figuring out what to do in City Lights to explain why the blind girl thinks that the tramp is rich. It took him a long time to find a solution to that problem.

see the movies in question, at least City Lights and The Kid, which I have ordered from Amazon.

if you are interested in Chaplin it will help you to learn how he worked and created his films.
