ResumoThis first paperback edition, with corrections and an updated bibliography, will appeal to a broad spectrum of film, theatre, and Chaplin fans.Lois Rubin, writing in Classic Images about the hardcover edition, brought out many of the book s unique features: Dan Kamin examines new facets of the Chaplin persona, not another retelling of the Chaplin story but an analysis of the comedian s body, his movements, his staging techniques. He explains not just the moods and results of Charlie s films but, as a fellow mime, describes the Chaplin techniques for mesmerizing the audiences through the magic of his own body. A large number of rarely seen photos gives added value to this excellent book.
