Title: The Most Boring Movie Chaplin Ever Made
Product review: Hello,I am a person who really loves Chaplin, and own copies of almost every movie available from his Sennet days to "A King In New York". I usually play them from the earliest to the latest about once every year or two. My heart sinks as I approach "Limelight". I find it to be a trial to sit through. It seems to drone on and on, and be filled with bathos.If I hear Claire Bloom say "Calvero" over again, and whine on and on about life, I will probably scream. Actually the best part of the movie by far is when Chaplin slaps her. This is what we wanted to do for the first 6 or 7 hours the movie appears to last. The only other highlight is of course Chaplin's encounters with Buster Keaton, although why we hear no one laughing during their music routine, I don't know. It really ruins it. I would say this movie is a sad comment on a star in decline, but "A King in New York" has a lot of funny pleasurable moments.
