So rare to see Chaplin talking about his work and further more, his associate Harry Crocker. His autobiography published 5 years earlier failed to address any of his working methods, with very little mention of any of his fellow actors and film associates. This clip, and I wish it was longer, discusses the re-release of The Circus in 1969. Chaplin composed the music and sang the song in the intro. It was a troubled time for Chaplin, and in this footage he almost disregards it, and struggles to talk about it, which is ironic as he is there to promote it! For those in the know he talks of the scene where he listens in on the private conversation. He looks so ill in that shot. I think that shot was followed directly by a cut sequence of him looking in the mirror with his hat and cane. (This can an be seen at the beginning of the Unknown Chaplin) The look on his face encapsulates and wraps up the entire production and personal issues he experienced in just a few seconds, and maybe Chaplin could see that pain too. The cutting room floor gained another gem. Despite all of that, it won him an honorary Academy Award...
thank you for your explanation. I was wondering to what and to whom he was referring. There is a longer video from the Criterion Channel I think this may be part of, if you'd like to check there. you have to join to be a member to get access or use the free 7d trial. so blessed to have been alive during his lifetime tho I was just born then in 70s so unaware. I became aware of him from RDJs Chaplin biopic. My favorite Charlie is his speech from the Dictator. Masterpiece and ironic, sadly the more things change, the more they stay rhe same. Bravo to him amd we are blessed to continue to have his work to refer to! Watching Msr Vardoux tonite!
The set burnt down, his marriage to Lita Grey ended and the ensuing tabloid scandal caused a nervous breakdown. Yes, one would think that The Circus would be a tough shoot. It’s amazing that it is almost impeccable despite these and other obstacles.
The greatness of Charlie Chaplin cannot be exaggerated. During his heyday his character of the little tramp was the most recognized figure on earth. His fame and popularity eclipsed presidents and kings. I’m not sure what movie he’s being interviewed about in this film clip since it wasn’t mentioned. His genius was unique. There will never be another Chaplin.
I assumed he was talking about The Circus, as it's regarded as being the most difficult time he had while making a film, and he distanced himself from it afterward. I saw further down that someone else mentioned there was a re-release of The Circus in 1969, so it does seem very likely that was the film they were referring to.
Incredible that an uneducated man from an impoverished background, raised by a single mother in South London bedsits, became the most famous man on earth bringing laughter to millions during depressing times. His social skills were extraordinary, he could dine with Presidents and Royalty and befriended legends outside of his own field, like Churchill, Einstein, Dali, Gandhi and Randolph Hearst. There will never be another like him.
You were there and know that for a fact. Girls threw themselves at him. He was rich and successful rather like your ex President Mr Trump. He was a brilliant man who liked young women. Married two of those young women. Gross was he? Grossly talented yes.
@@MikeJ2023 Read your history he was not allowed back in to the USA because that blackmailing pervert J Edgar Hoover hated him. Read about Hoover before you slag off Sir Charles Chaplin please.
You should see his talking films whch he made from 1940 onwards: The Great Dictator, Monsieur Verdoux, and his final Hollywood film Limelight. He made 2 more films after leaving Hollywood: A King In New York, and A Countess From Hong Kong, though he only plays a small role in the latter. The three Hollywood talkies he did are excellent.
The closest possible thing to Charlie Chaplin and "The Tramp" that we have is Rowan Atkinson and "Mr. Bean". The silent comedy that Charlie Chaplin brought to the world is what makes him, quite possibly, the funniest man that's ever lived. That's how I see him. I've seen a few of his works, and I laughed quite a lot while watching him perform. We don't have comedy like it anymore, and it's incredible that he lived quite the long and interesting life. 88 years. He had a ton of guts to make fun of Adolf Hitler, but Charlie Chaplin was a daring individual. It's nice to see this interview, his social skills are really good. Rest easy, Sir Charlie Chaplin. Thank you for bringing such brilliant humor to the world. ❤️
Extraordinary footage, love to hear him speak and express himself. " A day without laughter is a day wasted " Charlie Chaplin. R.I.P. Mr Chaplin was serious about making people laugh, as all great artists are, passionate about their artform.
What an incredible life he had. I wish I had been around in 1920’s Los Angeles. Must have been so beautiful with the sparse land, orange groves and growing Hollywood.
believe it or not...I've known the films and sketches of this man for more than 50 years, I have read his autobiography...this is the first time I hear his voice...the Great Man.
This is the man that brought New York to a standstill in the 1920s when he visited at the height of his fame. If you listen very carefully you can detect his early London accent layered underneath his mis Atlantic hybrid accent. One of the biggest stars of the 20th Century.
Charlie Chaplin, Groucho and Zeppo Marx were amongst the last of the surviving old time slapstick stars at about this time. All three of them died in the 1970s.
Charles Spencer Chaplin = ever source of joy 👏🙏👌👍✌ (although his comment ' I walk in the rain so that, nobody can see my tears 😚) Lot of salutations🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
For my grandmother, born in 1920, this gentleman was a celebrity. And given that I doubt she went to the cinema more than once every never, he must have had true fame/kudos.
It’s sad how the U.S. government kicked Mr. Chaplin out of the U.S. 😭😭😭😭 I’m someone who thinks it was necessary to hunt for Soviet spies, because there were Soviet spies. But not Mr. Chaplin, he wasn’t even a communist.
From a background of poverty, Charlie Chaplin and Stan Laurel sailed, on the same ship, to America. Shortly after, they became two of the biggest stars in Hollywood history. Chaplin though was on a whole different level of fame and wealth through. It's difficult to think of a modern day example. Tom Cruise perhaps, although Cruise surely never had the same humble beginnings that 1890s Britain had to offer.
The term “iconic” has been banned for the next twenty years. Ignorance of the law is no excuse. I’m afraid I’m going to have to make a citizen’s arrest.
I was in Myanmar five years ago and saw a snack that had an image of Charlie Chaplin on the packaging. I thought how amazing it is, more than 100 years after he became the biggest film star in the world, he is still one of the most recognised film stars around the world.
Strangely, until 5 minutes ago I only knew him as most people knew him from the old movies. I wouldn't have imagined him like that in his old age - actually almost like you and me.
wish so they´ ld mentioned which of his films they are talking about. He mentions Oona Chaplin has seen it a thousand times. As a great fan of his - who isn´t?!- it would have been wonderful to know . Seen all of his great movies countless times - never tire of them - but especially never of Circus, it is like a ballet - incredible. And i believe it was n´t that successful when it premiered?
Thank you for You Tube. We would never have seen this otherwise. And here is the thing about the great man. His films were silent films. But here we are actually finding out how the man actually sounds. What a revelation. And as a child growing up I could never imagine what he sounded like. And moreover we never even gave it a second's thought. This is amazing. So gentrified, articulate, intelligent and a man with natural humour full of life.
Thanks. Hadn't come across this. The Circus is one of his funniest films IMHO, but he does look older than his years in it - I presume he was going through a hard time, like he says.

I heard that when he hit fame he came back to England and rescued his mother from a "mental health institution". Okay I just checked it, amazing story. Most people here probably know this already but if you don't definitely please go and watch a documentary on his life.
