Director: Charlie Chaplin

Writer: Charlie Chaplin

Music Composed by: Charlie Chaplin

Keywords: Drama, Comedy

An elderly vaudeville performer forgotten by the public and a young suicidal ballet dancer seek strength in each other. One of four talkies directed by Chaplin, and of them the most autobiographical. Won an Oscar for Best Original Dramatic Score in 1973 (a quirk in the Academy rules made this time-shifting oddity possible).
