| | Charlie Chaplin - Limelight | |
Description
Charles Chaplins Limelight is a glimmering homage to what was, a proud look at a bygone entertainment era and a bittersweet tale of an artist passing the torch to a new generation. Chaplin portrays Calvero, who rescues a distraught ballerina from suicide and mentors her to success. Among the film's comedy highlights is a musical routine thats anything but routine in the hands of legend Chaplin and stoney-faced Buster Keaton. The extraordinary score by Chaplin, Raymond Rasch and Larry Russell earned the screen legend his only competitive Oscar.
