  Charlie Chaplin Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Chaplin was one of the most creative and influential personalities in the silent film era: he acted in, directed, scripted, produced, and eventually scored his own films.
Chaplin's two final films were made in London: A King in New York (1957) in which he starred, and (as writer and director) A Countess from Hong Kong (1967), starring Sophia Loren and Marlon Brando, in which Chaplin made his final on-screen appearance in a brief cameo role as a seasick steward.
Chaplin had a brief affair with Joan Berry in 1942, whom he was considering for a starring role in a proposed film, but the relationship ended when she began harassing him and displaying signs of severe mental illness (not unlike his mother).

 DVD review of Great Dictator, The - DVD Town
Chaplin was unaware of the extent of the persecution facing Jews in Europe at the time he produced his film.
Chaplin's gutsy stand against Hitler, Nazism, Fascism, and Jewish persecution are important contributing factors to the film's significance today, but the script has also got its moments of sheer fun, even if they are sometimes lost in the propaganda.
Chaplin was told after a visit to Europe in 1953 that his return would be questioned by the U.S. Department of Justice, so he relinquished his reentry permit.

 The DVD Journal | Reviews : The Circus: The Chaplin Collection
Chaplin fans who rediscover it tend to treat The Circus like a crated-up relic from a golden time, a Lost Ark newly opened to reveal treasures that previously had been glimpsed only in the occasional still photo or plot synopsis.
Granted, holding a mirror up to one's self is a worthy purpose for any artist (and by this point Chaplin definitely thought of himself as an Artist), but a mirror image also distances us in the audience one more layer further from its subject.
Chaplin the Artist points at his creation and, like Magritte with his painting of a pipe that's subtitled "This is not a pipe," he prods us to view what's in the frame not only as a funny movie, but also as a self-inscribed editorial by its creator.

The characters he considers worthy of his genius are almost without exception of the nobility.
John Galsworthy called Shakespeare Identified by J. Thomas Looney (pronounced Loney) the greatest detective story of all time, and Hamilton Basso, reviewing an American edition of 1948 with a foreword by William McFee, wrote: "If the case were brought to the court, it would be hard to see how Mr.
John Ward," Dr. James G. McManaway of the Folger Shakespeare Library wrote in 1962 without having noticed it, "is unimpeachable." Such being the case, as I am prepared to believe, there can be no doubt that the Shakespeare who has come down to us compounds two very different men.

The best are Geraldine Chaplin, ingeniously cast as her own grandmother; Kevin Dunn as J. Edgar Hoover (though IMO his character was given perhaps too prominent of a part); Kevin Kline as Douglas Fairbanks; and Dan Ankroyd as the director who first made Chaplin a star.
