Description: | Select Guide Rating Derived from the XXL book that explored the vast Charlie Chaplin archive, this edition follows the making of Chaplin’s films with letters, sketches, storyboards, posters, on-set photos, and an oral history from Chaplin and his closest collaborators. Discover the mix of improvisation and tight planning that made Chaplin the first global film star. Within a year of arriving in Hollywood in 1914, British-born Charlie Chaplin had become the slapstick king of America. By the end of his second year on the silver screen, Chaplin’s fame had spread worldwide. He was the first international film star and rapidly one of the richest men in the world, with a million dollar contract, his own studio and his stock company of close collaborators. From Alaska to Zimbabwe, the bowler hat, cane, baggy trousers and outsized shoes of the Tramp became, and remains, an instantly recognizable silhouette. |
