	Limelight (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Limelight is a 1952 film written, directed by and starring Charles Chaplin, co-starring Claire Bloom, with a guest appearance by Buster Keaton.
		The film score is composed by Chaplin and arranged by Ray Rasch.
		His own film career began in 1914, and in the story of an aging entertainer looking back over his glorious career Chaplin seems to be facing the fear that he himself may be all washed up.

	Portrait of an Artist as an Old man
		Limelight was to be his last American film, commenced half a decade after the end of WW2 and ready for première in the fifth year of the Cold War, made by one of its victims, a "peacemonger" and a rebel who instead of taking the guise of the tramp is now an old clown.
		Limelight, the most emotional of films, is all about the death of emotions – as such a major theme developed with pathetic consistency in Hollywood films, whether screwball or noir or whatever.
		Limelight is a historical film in the sense Chaplin admired when talking about the "poetic interpretation" of Ivan the Terrible (for him "the acme of all historical pictures").

	The DVD Journal \| Reviews : Limelight: The Chaplin Collection
		Likewise, Limelight's strengths and faults both arrive in plenty, and both are so genuinely expressive of Chaplin the man — rather than of a studio's standard-issue production committee — that it's a film only Chaplin in all his on-the-sleeve sensitivities could have made.
		In her autobiography, Limelight and After, she noted that "Chaplin was the most exacting director, not because he expected you to produce wonders on your own, but because he expected you to follow unquestioningly his every instruction.....
		Limelight was released the year of High Noon and Singin' in the Rain.

	Amazon.com: Charlie Chaplin: Limelight (1952): Video: Claire Bloom,Marjorie Bennett,Barry Bernard,Nigel Bruce,Josephine ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		The film is famous for featuring the only onscreen teaming of Chaplin with the other legendary comic of the silent era, Buster Keaton, and is equally infamous for Chaplin having allegedly cut out most of Keaton's best bits in their sequence together.
		I've read that during the filming Keaton was much funnier in their comedy scene together and Chaplin (being director) edited the result in such a way as to throw the spotlight back on himself.
		One driving force behind this film before CHaplin's exile from the USA back to EUrope is his hounding by the congressional Un-American activities witch hunting of the time which branded Chaplin as a leftist because of his sympathies with humanity and the poor and his courageous stand against our then fashionable fascist political persecutions.

		While in the film Colombine can be viewed as the double of the aging tramp, in the poem she appears as the double of the posited author.
		In the case of Limelight, in the framework of the film as a whole, it is Calvero and not Terry (playing Colombine in the ballet) who is strongly identified with Colombine from the ballet.
		There are three similar scenes of dying in the film: the first is of Terry dying in her room of attempted suicide; the second is the ballet scene of the dying Colombine; and the third scene is that of Calvero dying backstage at the very end of the picture.

	Collecting Film Posters - Limelight Movie Art
		Films themselves were designed to be disposable - prints to be watched at nickelodeons for a week or so, until the arrival of the following week's fare.
		The ways in which the advertising campaign's basic aim was accomplished have varied over the years - by era, by fashion, by country, by poster artist and even by film studio - but its purpose has always been the same - to entice audiences into the cinema.
		Unsurprisingly, the general rule is that the older the film, the more scarce is its surviving advertising material.

		A number of films including "Big Trouble", "Sidewalks of New York" and "Collateral Damage" which had their release dates in the weeks to follow were pushed back to avoid due to the sensitive nature of their subject matter.

		Asian film may have missed the jackpot, the Palme d'Or, but was still a winner of the 2004 Cannes film festival, taking home honours and basking consistently in the limelight during the 12-day bonanza.
		Films by established auteur darlings, such as US team Joel and Ethan Coen or Serbia's Emir Kusturica, went home empty-handed, and Brazil's Walter Salles, another hot tip for his road-movie on Ernesto 'Che' Guevara, failed to win a mention.
		Asian film, which is grabbing an ever-growing share of Cannes, festival after festival, this year accounted for six of the 18 films competing to win the coveted Palme d'Or trophy.

	Limelight - Films of the Time
		The Limelight Department began showing films in Australia almost as soon as the newly invented projectors and motion picture films were imported into the colonies.
		However, many overseas imports were deemed suitable for the Army’s audiences and these included religious films, such as the Lumiere Passion Films, which the Army screened widely in 1899 and 1900, as well as documentaries, comedies and fiction.
		A feature film is considered to be a film with a continuous story line lasting for approximately an hour or more.

	Limelight - Capturing the Images
		By 1900, the technical expertise of the Department had reached the point where film taken of a march by a Victorian military contingent embarking for the Boer War was shown at a public meeting just a few hours after it had been shot.
		The Limelight Department became a pioneer in the manufacture and use of portable film equipment in Australia.
		As film historian Chris Long has noted, its ability to shoot and process film on location, then show them almost immediately to the local residents became a specialist feature of Salvation Army shows.

	Calvero's Death
		And Limelight, a film which deals with old age and disillusionment, which illustrates the art of self-effacement making way for youth, is crammed with reflections which are no longer on politics and society but, dare we use the word, on life.
		A film not quite in the present because of its mise en scène at the time of its production and release, a personal film in an era when first person perspective was not fashionable in the cinema, with the passing of time, Limelight has continued to establish itself as a great classic.
		In Limelight, Calvero stops Terry from dying, orders her to live, teaches her to live; later he will die when she is strong with all that he had to pass onto her.

	DVD.net : Limelight: SE - DVD Review
		While not being his usual comedy, this is still a beautiful film with an endearing series of characters, regardless of the film’s acidic undertow.
		The divided loyalties of her affection between he and Calvero is one of the story dynamics that progresses the film well and Chaplin has utilised the love triangle theme to good effect here.
		I’m pleased these films have made it to DVD and been treated so wonderfully, because now Chaplin is accessible by all and will most definitely never be forgotten.

		He was one of the silent artists who thought that they were just achieving the peak of their medium when sound came in.
		The Great Dictator and Monsieur Verdoux were both good films in their own way, but perhaps Chaplin's in depth political commentary in these films detracted from them.

	Combustible Celluloid film review - Limelight (1952), Charles Chaplin, Claire Bloom, Buster Keaton, dvd review
		To casual viewers, Charles Chaplin's Limelight may appear overly sentimental and not very funny, but a deeper look reveals it to be one of the comedian's most revelatory works.
		The film features several on-stage set pieces, such as the flea circus and a memorable teaming of Chaplin and his colleague/rival Buster Keaton.
		One of the finest aspects of Limelight has to be Chaplin's heartbreaking score, which won an Oscar the year it became eligible, in 1972.
