00:00:50,801 whose publications include "Phantasms of The Living" 4 00:00:50,842 --> 00:00:54,638 and "Human Personality and Its Survival Of Bodily Death" 5 00:00:56,223 --> 00:00:59,059 are reporting an extraordinary phenomenon. 6 00:01:02,354 --> 00:01:06,191 Mr. Charles Chaplin, motion picture comedian, 7 00:01:07,067 --> 00:01:09,569 has been cited in hundreds of places, 8 00:01:12,322 --> 00:01:13,365 simultaneously. 9 00:01:16,910 --> 00:01:19,413 From the Atlantic to the Pacific, 10 00:01:19,955 --> 00:01:22,749 from the Canadian boundary to the Gulf, 11 00:01:23,875 --> 00:01:27,087 people wait at stations to see Mr. Chaplin. 12 00:01:29,923 --> 00:01:31,508 In the same hour, 13 00:01:31,550 --> 00:01:35,303 crowds are gathering at hotels across the country. 14 00:01:37,973 --> 00:01:41,852 "Have you got the Chaplin-oia?" asks one newspaper. 15 00:01:41,893 --> 00:01:43,687 Others report the Chaplin Fever, 16 00:01:44,604 --> 00:01:47,024 the Chaplin Craze, 17 00:01:47,065 --> 00:01:48,275 Charlie-mania. 18 00:01:49,776 --> 00:01:52,237 "Chaplin-itis," runs one headline, 19 00:01:52,279 --> 00:01:54,906 "Has spread across America. 20 00:01:58,869 --> 00:02:02,622 Bootlegs, counterfeits, and imitators flood the market. 21 00:02:06,543 --> 00:02:09,296 Lookalike contests spring up across the globe. 22 00:02:16,470 --> 00:02:19,347 It's rumored that Chaplin himself entered such a contest 23 00:02:21,641 --> 00:02:23,435 and came 20th. 24 00:02:25,896 --> 00:02:27,939 People demand to know, 25 00:02:29,483 --> 00:02:33,945 "Who is the Real Charlie Chaplin?" 26 00:03:48,728 --> 00:03:50,355 When we think of Charlie Chaplin, 27 00:03:52,274 --> 00:03:54,359 we picture this man. 28 00:03:57,988 --> 00:04:01,408 This is the moment he first steps on to the screen. 29 00:04:08,039 --> 00:04:09,666 And he looks at us. 30 00:04:16,631 --> 00:04:19,050 He reappears soon after in other films. 31 00:04:22,762 --> 00:04:23,638 Here he is again. 32 00:04:30,562 --> 00:04:31,646 And here. 33 00:04:37,402 --> 00:04:40,071 And he keeps looking at us. 34 00:04:48,955 --> 00:04:51,416 But this is not Charlie Chaplin. 35 00:04:53,919 --> 00:04:55,795 This man has no name. 36 00:04:58,673 --> 00:05:00,592 He has no fixed address. 37 00:05:03,511 --> 00:05:05,347 No family. 38 00:05:07,724 --> 00:05:10,936 No set point in space or time. 39 00:05:16,983 --> 00:05:18,944 You can't pin him down. 40 00:05:25,742 --> 00:05:29,746 The only constants are the hat, the cane, 41 00:05:29,788 --> 00:05:31,706 the boots and the mustache. 42 00:05:33,750 --> 00:05:35,961 Sometimes just the mustache. 43 00:05:42,676 --> 00:05:44,261 So who is he? 44 00:05:49,015 --> 00:05:51,476 He's been called the little man. 45 00:05:53,687 --> 00:05:55,689 The little fellow. 46 00:05:57,190 --> 00:05:58,024 The Tramp. 47 00:06:01,027 --> 00:06:05,323 He's a character played by Charlie Chaplin. 48 00:06:19,671 --> 00:06:23,383 "The Tramp" will make Chaplin more famous 49 00:06:23,425 --> 00:06:27,012 than any king, queen, or emperor. 50 00:06:33,143 --> 00:06:36,938 More famous than any philosopher, artist, 51 00:06:36,980 --> 00:06:38,398 or religious figure. 52 00:06:43,069 --> 00:06:47,073 Famous in a way that no one has been before. 53 00:07:03,006 --> 00:07:08,178 Chaplin makes "The Tramp" and "The Tramp" makes Chaplin. 54 00:07:10,722 --> 00:07:15,894 You can't see one without looking at the other. 55 00:07:19,689 --> 00:07:21,232 They tell each other's stories. 56 00:07:24,819 --> 00:07:25,904 So where do we start? 57 00:07:31,868 --> 00:07:33,745 Here's how Chaplin starts. 58 00:07:45,090 --> 00:07:49,094 1889 begins with a total eclipse of the sun. 59 00:07:52,555 --> 00:07:55,600 This year, the Eiffel tower opens to the public. 60 00:07:57,644 --> 00:07:59,270 Adolph Hitler is born. 61 00:08:01,439 --> 00:08:03,942 In Kyoto, Nintendo is founded. 62 00:08:06,569 --> 00:08:07,779 They make playing cards. 63 00:08:10,448 --> 00:08:13,118 Electric streetlights are being installed in London 64 00:08:14,202 --> 00:08:16,579 where Jack the Ripper remains at large. 65 00:08:19,082 --> 00:08:21,126 The pizza margarita is invented. 66 00:08:23,586 --> 00:08:26,423 They're still working on the aero plane. 67 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,806 This is how movies look in 1889. 68 00:08:39,394 --> 00:08:43,022 89. 69 00:08:43,314 --> 00:08:45,984 These are recordings of the human voice. 70 00:08:51,698 --> 00:08:53,783 Of birdsong. 71 00:08:57,662 --> 00:08:59,122 Of music. 72 00:09:23,146 --> 00:09:25,857 Film grows up alongside Chaplin. 73 00:09:31,070 --> 00:09:34,407 It captures the London streets he roams as a kid. 74 00:09:49,506 --> 00:09:50,882 The children he plays with. 75 00:09:59,933 --> 00:10:02,435 This is the voice of Effie Wisdom. 76 00:10:16,950 --> 00:10:21,120 Captured on tape when she was 92 years old. 77 00:14:14,645 --> 00:14:17,607 It takes 12 days for the Karno Company 78 00:14:17,648 --> 00:14:19,150 to cross the Atlantic. 79 00:14:25,490 --> 00:14:28,576 12 days in a rat infested cattle boat. 80 00:14:41,214 --> 00:14:43,508 At first sight of land, 81 00:14:44,634 --> 00:14:46,844 one young man leans over the railing 82 00:14:48,888 --> 00:14:49,889 and screams out. 83 00:15:13,704 --> 00:15:15,998 They embark on a grueling tour of the continent. 84 00:15:20,211 --> 00:15:22,588 Playing three shows a day. 85 00:15:29,554 --> 00:15:32,014 Fred Karno's brand of knockabout comedy 86 00:15:32,056 --> 00:15:33,808 is intensely physical. 87 00:15:37,228 --> 00:15:38,980 He teaches his comics how to trip. 88 00:15:41,899 --> 00:15:45,403 How to tumble, slide and fall. 89 00:15:45,444 --> 00:15:47,488 How to take a punch. 90 00:15:47,530 --> 00:15:50,074 How to fall down a flight of stairs. 91 00:15:52,618 --> 00:15:54,871 They're the best in the business. 92 00:15:56,622 --> 00:16:00,835 And wherever they go, one performer stands out. 93 00:16:11,637 --> 00:16:14,265 But his tour mates can't work him out. 94 00:16:17,018 --> 00:16:21,230 Offstage, he's quiet, moody and reclusive. 95 00:16:24,025 --> 00:16:26,152 He's usually shabby in appearance. 96 00:16:28,154 --> 00:16:31,157 Then, without warning, he'll dress to kill. 97 00:16:35,828 --> 00:16:40,333 He teaches himself the cello, ancient Greek, yoga. 98 00:16:43,127 --> 00:16:48,132 But above all he vows that he will not return poor. 99 00:16:59,602 --> 00:17:03,898 In California, a fortune teller tells him 100 00:17:03,940 --> 00:17:07,526 he will soon enter a new field 101 00:17:07,568 --> 00:17:10,446 in which he will earn a tremendous fortune. 102 00:17:16,661 --> 00:17:20,247 They say that fortunes are there to be made in America. 103 00:17:24,210 --> 00:17:27,546 The oil boom has created millionaires overnight. 104 00:17:29,924 --> 00:17:33,010 Henry Ford has devised the modern assembly line. 105 00:17:36,222 --> 00:17:39,684 And Nickelodeon's opening in cities across the country, 106 00:17:42,186 --> 00:17:46,273 showing motion picture comedies around the clock. 107 00:17:53,072 --> 00:17:55,366 But Chaplin isn't impressed by the movies. 108 00:17:56,993 --> 00:17:58,911 He thinks they're a passing fad. 109 00:18:04,917 --> 00:18:07,878 Mr. Chaplin got into motion pictures purely, 110 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:09,672 in my mind, by accident. 111 00:18:11,132 --> 00:18:13,801 This is the voice of Mack Sennett, 112 00:18:13,843 --> 00:18:15,845 pioneer of movie comedy, 113 00:18:17,638 --> 00:18:19,932 founder of Keystone Studios, 114 00:18:22,309 --> 00:18:26,188 specialists in custard pie warfare and high-speed chases, 115 00:18:27,690 --> 00:18:32,737 the Mack Sennett Bathing Girls, the Keystone Kops. 116 00:18:35,531 --> 00:18:37,950 I have a comedian working for me at the time. 117 00:18:37,992 --> 00:18:39,035 His name was Ford Sterling. 118 00:18:39,076 --> 00:18:41,245 He was a chief of the Keystone Kops. 119 00:18:43,414 --> 00:18:45,875 One day Sterling quits. 120 00:18:47,543 --> 00:18:49,253 I said, "Oh, shucks". 121 00:18:49,295 --> 00:18:52,006 Suddenly Sennett needs a new lead. 122 00:18:53,632 --> 00:18:54,884 Right away, I thought of a comedian 123 00:18:54,925 --> 00:18:56,761 that I'd seen in an English act called, 124 00:18:56,802 --> 00:18:59,138 "A Night in the London Music Hall." 125 00:18:59,180 --> 00:19:01,307 I couldn't remember the name at the time, 126 00:19:01,348 --> 00:19:04,935 but I wired to New York to associates to find this man. 127 00:19:04,977 --> 00:19:07,938 And I said, his name is Champion, Chaprin, or Chambers, 128 00:19:07,980 --> 00:19:09,523 or something like that. 129 00:19:09,565 --> 00:19:10,900 So they traced him in 130 00:19:10,941 --> 00:19:13,527 and they found him in a small town in Pennsylvania. 131 00:19:15,988 --> 00:19:18,616 Sennett offers him $150 a week, 132 00:19:19,909 --> 00:19:21,911 three times the money he's getting now. 133 00:19:24,705 --> 00:19:28,542 He decides he'll stick it out for a year. 134 00:19:30,586 --> 00:19:33,089 And if Ford Sterling had continued with me, 135 00:19:33,130 --> 00:19:36,550 the chances are that Chaplin would have returned to England 136 00:19:36,592 --> 00:19:38,928 and we'd have probably missed the greatest comedian 137 00:19:38,969 --> 00:19:40,721 we've ever seen. 138 00:20:08,874 --> 00:20:10,668 This is Chaplin telling the story 139 00:20:10,709 --> 00:20:14,004 in a 1966 interview for "Life Magazine." 140 00:20:21,679 --> 00:20:23,973 It's one of the only times Chaplin has allowed 141 00:20:24,014 --> 00:20:26,559 a tape recorder within these walls. 142 00:20:41,448 --> 00:20:44,243 The million dollar question. 143 00:20:44,285 --> 00:20:46,912 He's been asked this countless times by journalists. 144 00:20:53,919 --> 00:20:56,338 And also by lawyers. 145 00:21:03,429 --> 00:21:05,097 This man looks familiar. 146 00:21:06,599 --> 00:21:08,976 The hat, the mustache. 147 00:21:10,853 --> 00:21:13,147 But this is not Charlie Chaplin. 148 00:21:16,942 --> 00:21:20,237 In the 1920s, this man releases a series 149 00:21:20,279 --> 00:21:25,242 of knockoff Chaplin films under the name Charles Aplin. 150 00:21:28,120 --> 00:21:33,083 Chaplin sues Aplin and the trial delves 151 00:21:33,292 --> 00:21:35,628 into the origins of the Tramp. 152 00:21:38,464 --> 00:21:42,301 Firstly, Aplin claims he wasn't imitating Chaplin. 153 00:21:43,844 --> 00:21:46,013 He was imitating Billy West, 154 00:21:47,473 --> 00:21:49,350 the famous Chaplin impersonator. 155 00:21:51,143 --> 00:21:54,021 "Aplin's Chaplin isn't Chaplin," says Aplin. 156 00:21:55,648 --> 00:22:00,152 Aplin's Chaplin is an imitation of an imitation of Chaplin. 157 00:22:02,905 --> 00:22:07,243 "Besides, if anyone should be on trial for imitation," 158 00:22:07,284 --> 00:22:10,579 says Aplin, "It's Chaplin." 159 00:22:12,665 --> 00:22:14,708 Two of Chaplin's Karno colleagues, 160 00:22:14,750 --> 00:22:16,919 Fred Kitchen and Billy Ritchie, 161 00:22:16,961 --> 00:22:20,506 both claim that Chaplin's Tramp is an imitation of theirs. 162 00:22:22,299 --> 00:22:24,551 "I was the first says," Ritchie, 163 00:22:26,136 --> 00:22:27,721 who goes on to make a living 164 00:22:28,597 --> 00:22:31,267 producing knockoff Chaplin films. 165 00:22:34,478 --> 00:22:38,399 But Aplin and Chaplin, Ritchie and Kitchen are all following 166 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,318 in the wake of a great wave of tramp comedians 167 00:22:44,196 --> 00:22:45,698 who have been touring the vaudeville circuit 168 00:22:45,739 --> 00:22:48,158 since the late 19th century. 169 00:22:50,995 --> 00:22:54,290 These comedians are themselves inspired 170 00:22:54,331 --> 00:22:55,541 by real tramps. 171 00:22:57,668 --> 00:23:00,337 The drifters who crisscross America in search of work. 172 00:23:04,174 --> 00:23:07,428 The homeless Chaplin grew up with on the streets of London. 173 00:23:10,639 --> 00:23:13,142 These men are more likely to see the inside 174 00:23:13,183 --> 00:23:16,145 of a police cell than a movie studio. 175 00:23:23,902 --> 00:23:26,322 But in Chapman's telling the creation 176 00:23:26,363 --> 00:23:29,199 of his Tramp is spontaneous. 177 00:23:37,249 --> 00:23:39,543 He's just made his screen debut, 178 00:23:41,170 --> 00:23:43,964 a clear knockoff of his predecessor Ford Sterling. 179 00:23:47,009 --> 00:23:49,094 And the reviews aren't good. 180 00:24:28,634 --> 00:24:31,678 In fact, the shoes were Sterling's, 181 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,014 the trousers, Fatty Arbuckle's 182 00:24:34,056 --> 00:24:37,017 and the hat belonged to somebody's father. 183 00:24:39,144 --> 00:24:40,938 The costume isn't stolen, 184 00:24:42,147 --> 00:24:45,192 but it's assembled, magpie-like, 185 00:24:45,234 --> 00:24:47,027 from bits of other costumes. 186 00:25:11,802 --> 00:25:16,348 And so, we're back here, February, 1914. 187 00:25:17,516 --> 00:25:20,310 The moment he first steps onto the screen 188 00:25:22,521 --> 00:25:23,480 and looks at us. 189 00:25:36,994 --> 00:25:40,831 And this time the reviews aren't half bad. 190 00:28:21,992 --> 00:28:23,994 And it's not just New York. 191 00:28:51,229 --> 00:28:56,610 Why is Chaplin fever spreading across the world? 192 00:28:56,652 --> 00:28:59,863 What is it about this little Tramp? 193 00:29:09,122 --> 00:29:10,874 Well, he's funny. 194 00:29:14,586 --> 00:29:15,879 He can take any situation 195 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:20,467 and make it silly. 196 00:30:06,930 --> 00:30:09,850 But it's more than that. 197 00:30:09,891 --> 00:30:12,853 In a society sharply defined by class, 198 00:30:14,396 --> 00:30:16,857 the Tramp not only stands up to the man. 199 00:30:19,401 --> 00:30:22,446 He gives them a kick up the arse for good measure. 200 00:30:32,205 --> 00:30:35,083 To the millions of migrants, dreaming of a new life, 201 00:30:38,044 --> 00:30:40,213 the Tramp is someone without a nation. 202 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:48,555 Someone who has no language, 203 00:30:51,683 --> 00:30:53,351 but who speaks to everyone. 204 00:30:58,899 --> 00:31:03,028 And in a world divided by bitter conflict, 205 00:31:05,030 --> 00:31:06,782 the Tramp can make you laugh, 206 00:31:06,823 --> 00:31:08,492 whichever side you're on. 207 00:31:16,208 --> 00:31:20,170 The Tramp defies the boundaries of identity. 208 00:31:22,798 --> 00:31:25,342 He blurs gender and sexuality. 209 00:31:30,013 --> 00:31:32,599 He upends authority and class. 210 00:31:46,363 --> 00:31:47,447 He's a nobody 211 00:31:50,242 --> 00:31:53,036 and he belongs to everybody. 212 00:32:12,889 --> 00:32:14,057 In the work house 213 00:32:15,100 --> 00:32:17,310 Chaplin dreamed of becoming rich, 214 00:32:18,562 --> 00:32:21,273 famous and beloved. 215 00:32:26,945 --> 00:32:31,157 He's now the highest paid actor in the world. 216 00:32:34,536 --> 00:32:36,830 The most famous man alive. 217 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:48,466 So all the adulation, it's not for me. 218 00:32:49,676 --> 00:32:50,927 It's for the little man. 219 00:33:02,731 --> 00:33:05,567 First impression was the eyes. 220 00:33:07,736 --> 00:33:11,239 They could be so warm and so cold in a flash of a second. 221 00:33:16,161 --> 00:33:17,954 Because he was a charmer, you know. 222 00:33:23,126 --> 00:33:25,962 Charlie was a great exhibitionist. 223 00:33:31,426 --> 00:33:32,469 Very flamboyant. 224 00:33:33,845 --> 00:33:35,221 He put on a great show. 225 00:33:43,188 --> 00:33:45,565 He loved to talk on any subject, 226 00:33:47,525 --> 00:33:50,320 pretend that he was a rebel and a radical politically. 227 00:34:00,163 --> 00:34:02,332 And he had the means of making people think 228 00:34:02,374 --> 00:34:04,626 that he was a very profound reader, 229 00:34:06,795 --> 00:34:08,588 when actually I think he read the first page 230 00:34:08,630 --> 00:34:09,839 of a number of books 231 00:34:09,881 --> 00:34:11,675 and made people think he read the whole thing. 232 00:34:17,555 --> 00:34:19,516 Charlie was always acting. 233 00:34:26,022 --> 00:34:29,693 Always on show, always the entertainer. 234 00:34:32,362 --> 00:34:35,365 He didn't want people to know the real Charlie. 235 00:34:38,994 --> 00:34:42,747 One's bound to be insecure with a childhood like his. 236 00:34:47,877 --> 00:34:49,921 He never felt anybody loved him. 237 00:34:56,428 --> 00:34:57,554 He never believed it. 238 00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:04,728 He said, "Why would anybody love me?" 239 00:35:19,743 --> 00:35:21,161 I am no psychiatrist, 240 00:35:21,202 --> 00:35:25,206 but it's easy to see that still has a fear of poverty. 241 00:35:29,711 --> 00:35:31,421 Don't care how much money he has. 242 00:35:33,214 --> 00:35:34,674 He still has fear of poverty. 243 00:36:20,470 --> 00:36:22,555 Within a few years, 244 00:36:22,597 --> 00:36:24,766 Chaplin has built his own studio, 245 00:36:27,268 --> 00:36:29,145 founded a distribution company, 246 00:36:31,981 --> 00:36:35,151 liberated himself from dependence on financial backers. 247 00:36:44,786 --> 00:36:46,204 He follows no schedule. 248 00:36:47,872 --> 00:36:49,499 He doesn't even follow a script. 249 00:36:52,877 --> 00:36:55,171 He starts with a vague idea 250 00:36:56,172 --> 00:37:00,176 and replays it again and again and again, 251 00:37:01,261 --> 00:37:02,428 until it becomes funny. 252 00:37:33,877 --> 00:37:37,589 The actors are instructed to perform each gesture 253 00:37:37,630 --> 00:37:39,507 exactly as he does 254 00:37:40,967 --> 00:37:43,428 as though they are mere extensions of his body. 255 00:37:46,264 --> 00:37:51,144 Every nuance, every glance, he makes first. 256 00:37:53,897 --> 00:37:56,733 His assistant says that if he could have done every job 257 00:37:56,774 --> 00:37:59,319 on set himself, he would have. 258 00:38:00,361 --> 00:38:03,907 As it is, he writes, directs, produces, 259 00:38:03,948 --> 00:38:07,577 edits, scores, and stars. 260 00:38:09,621 --> 00:38:12,373 He even tries his hand at hair and makeup. 261 00:38:18,838 --> 00:38:21,925 Finally, when he has total control, 262 00:38:23,218 --> 00:38:26,262 he begins his most ambitious project yet. 263 00:38:49,202 --> 00:38:52,622 It's the story of an abandoned child. 264 00:38:55,291 --> 00:39:00,213 Of a single mother too poor to care for him. 265 00:39:35,081 --> 00:39:38,293 In another life, the boy is headed for the workhouse. 266 00:39:43,673 --> 00:39:46,467 But in this version, when the authorities arrive 267 00:39:46,509 --> 00:39:47,552 to take him away, 268 00:39:49,679 --> 00:39:52,849 he's not going without a fight. 269 00:42:04,522 --> 00:42:07,108 It's been eight years since he left London. 270 00:42:09,944 --> 00:42:11,863 And when he finally gets back, 271 00:42:14,031 --> 00:42:16,159 he hears a familiar voice. 272 00:43:15,134 --> 00:43:19,388 He finds himself back in the attic room 273 00:43:19,430 --> 00:43:21,599 of No. 3 Pownall Terrace. 274 00:43:26,062 --> 00:43:28,940 Four walls that the Chaplin family called home. 275 00:43:32,693 --> 00:43:34,862 Where Chaplin's mother, Hannah, 276 00:43:34,904 --> 00:43:37,782 delighted him with her costumes and impressions. 277 00:43:41,244 --> 00:43:45,748 Where she struggled to make ends meet after her voice 278 00:43:45,790 --> 00:43:48,668 and then her stage career failed. 279 00:43:54,423 --> 00:43:55,716 She sat at this window 280 00:43:56,801 --> 00:43:59,303 and told Charlie she could see ghosts outside 281 00:44:02,348 --> 00:44:04,475 before she was dragged off to the asylum. 282 00:44:13,734 --> 00:44:17,863 And Charlie's mother hasn't left London. 283 00:44:19,907 --> 00:44:21,617 She's living in a nursing home. 284 00:44:26,497 --> 00:44:28,666 So when Chaplin returns to America, 285 00:44:33,421 --> 00:44:34,630 he brings her with him. 286 00:44:41,846 --> 00:44:44,473 But she teeters between worlds. 287 00:44:51,272 --> 00:44:53,691 Present and past seem to blur. 288 00:44:57,111 --> 00:45:00,114 When she sees her son dressed as a tramp, she says, 289 00:45:01,616 --> 00:45:06,662 "Charlie, I have to get you a new suit. 290 00:45:16,922 --> 00:45:20,801 Meanwhile, her son is making a Hollywood epic. 291 00:45:33,814 --> 00:45:38,653 One that takes the Tramp to the ends of the earth. 292 00:45:46,661 --> 00:45:51,540 But it's themes are closer to home. 293 00:47:13,914 --> 00:47:15,791 This is a test 294 00:47:16,709 --> 00:47:20,504 to see how my voice records on the film. 295 00:47:23,591 --> 00:47:27,011 You are now listening to a talking, moving picture. 296 00:47:27,052 --> 00:47:30,014 We believe an entirely new art will be created. 297 00:47:30,055 --> 00:47:33,309 The beginning of a new era in motion pictures. 298 00:47:42,026 --> 00:47:45,988 Suddenly the Tramp's strength 299 00:47:47,698 --> 00:47:49,325 becomes his weakness. 300 00:47:53,871 --> 00:47:54,914 He can't talk. 301 00:47:57,541 --> 00:47:59,293 What language would he speak? 302 00:48:01,337 --> 00:48:02,463 What dialect? 303 00:48:08,594 --> 00:48:11,764 1928 Warner axes all its silent projects. 304 00:48:12,848 --> 00:48:15,810 1929 Fox follows. 305 00:48:15,851 --> 00:48:16,977 By 1930, 306 00:48:19,021 --> 00:48:21,524 all the major studios are talking. 307 00:48:23,734 --> 00:48:27,947 One by one Chaplin's contemporaries start to talk. 308 00:48:27,988 --> 00:48:30,157 First, Laurel and Hardy. 309 00:48:30,199 --> 00:48:31,367 My trunk is packed 310 00:48:31,408 --> 00:48:34,870 and I am leaving for South America, tonight. 311 00:48:34,912 --> 00:48:36,497 Then Harold Lloyd. 312 00:48:37,581 --> 00:48:39,625 I don't know what to say. 313 00:48:39,667 --> 00:48:41,627 Well, that's nothing new, dear. 314 00:48:41,669 --> 00:48:43,712 Then, Buster Keaton. 315 00:48:43,754 --> 00:48:46,298 Well, I got a lot of serious talking to do 316 00:48:46,340 --> 00:48:48,384 and you got a lot of serious listening to do. 317 00:48:49,343 --> 00:48:52,054 The talky revolution is here. 318 00:48:52,096 --> 00:48:54,557 It's alive! It's alive! 319 00:48:54,807 --> 00:48:56,475 The public is going crazy 320 00:48:56,517 --> 00:48:58,727 for anything that talks. 321 00:48:58,769 --> 00:49:00,479 Wait a minute! Wait a minute! 322 00:49:00,521 --> 00:49:01,897 You ain't heard nothin'. 323 00:49:01,939 --> 00:49:04,900 But Chaplin decides to do the unthinkable. 324 00:49:06,527 --> 00:49:08,404 He'll make a silent film. 325 00:49:27,131 --> 00:49:30,009 Like most romantic comedies, 326 00:49:30,050 --> 00:49:32,928 "City Lights" turns on a misunderstanding. 327 00:49:36,390 --> 00:49:40,269 A blind flower girl mistakes the Tramp for a millionaire. 328 00:49:43,814 --> 00:49:48,068 Simple enough on paper, but there is no paper. 329 00:49:49,695 --> 00:49:51,947 Chaplin works without a script. 330 00:49:53,240 --> 00:49:56,035 And this scene is to drive Chaplin 331 00:49:56,076 --> 00:49:58,621 and everyone around him 332 00:49:59,455 --> 00:50:01,624 to the edge of madness. 333 00:50:04,335 --> 00:50:05,377 Can you tell us 334 00:50:05,419 --> 00:50:06,962 about the shooting of that sequence? 335 00:50:09,131 --> 00:50:10,174 Oh dear. 336 00:50:14,637 --> 00:50:18,140 He'd take it over and over and over again. 337 00:50:19,266 --> 00:50:21,310 I often thought that if he couldn't think 338 00:50:21,352 --> 00:50:22,645 what he was going to do next, 339 00:50:22,686 --> 00:50:25,439 he simply went on doing the same shot over again 340 00:50:25,481 --> 00:50:26,649 until he thought of it. 341 00:50:30,653 --> 00:50:31,820 Chaplain agonizes 342 00:50:31,862 --> 00:50:33,864 over this mistaken identity scene. 343 00:50:36,241 --> 00:50:37,993 It's the heart of the film. 344 00:50:38,035 --> 00:50:39,453 It has to feel right. 345 00:50:40,829 --> 00:50:42,998 He was a perfectionist. 346 00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:46,669 And to us it often seem to be exactly the same. 347 00:50:48,379 --> 00:50:50,881 When he'd finally say "It's a take," 348 00:50:50,923 --> 00:50:52,341 we'd breathe a sigh of relief. 349 00:50:52,383 --> 00:50:55,052 And then he'd say, "Well, perhaps just one more time." 350 00:51:11,235 --> 00:51:15,114 It's not working. Why isn't it working? 351 00:51:19,076 --> 00:51:22,371 What if the rich man buys a flower first? 352 00:51:22,413 --> 00:51:25,040 Then, no. 353 00:51:27,668 --> 00:51:29,128 Maybe it's Virginia Cherrill. 354 00:51:51,608 --> 00:51:53,986 270 days into the shoot. 355 00:51:54,903 --> 00:51:56,405 Charlie fired me. 356 00:51:57,614 --> 00:52:00,200 It's Cherrill. She's not right. 357 00:52:00,242 --> 00:52:02,578 He needs a new flower girl and fast. 358 00:52:04,538 --> 00:52:07,249 The whole thing is going to cost a fortune to reshoot. 359 00:52:10,127 --> 00:52:11,920 He hires Georgia Hale, 360 00:52:11,962 --> 00:52:13,922 his leading lady from "The Gold Rush." 361 00:52:16,216 --> 00:52:18,093 He said, "I'm going to redo all 362 00:52:18,135 --> 00:52:19,636 of 'City Lights' with you." 363 00:52:22,306 --> 00:52:24,641 I'm gonna redo the whole thing with you. 364 00:52:26,226 --> 00:52:29,021 - But, no. - Hale's not right either. 365 00:52:30,981 --> 00:52:32,524 He tests other actresses. 366 00:52:37,321 --> 00:52:41,283 They're just not, maybe Cherrill was the one. 367 00:52:42,409 --> 00:52:44,787 He begs Cherrill to come back. 368 00:52:50,834 --> 00:52:53,295 It's 534 days into the shoot, 369 00:52:55,005 --> 00:52:57,216 but they still haven't got the flower scene. 370 00:53:01,011 --> 00:53:03,305 He shot an entire film around the fulcrum 371 00:53:03,347 --> 00:53:04,807 of this mistaken identity 372 00:53:07,101 --> 00:53:08,811 and it just isn't working. 373 00:53:12,231 --> 00:53:13,315 Then it comes to him. 374 00:53:18,278 --> 00:53:19,530 A slamming door. 375 00:53:22,032 --> 00:53:25,369 The key to Chaplin's defiantly silent opus 376 00:53:27,663 --> 00:53:28,539 is a sound. 377 00:57:24,024 --> 00:57:28,528 At the premiere, 50,000 people turn out, 378 00:57:28,570 --> 00:57:30,739 hoping to see the Tramp and the flower girl. 379 00:57:34,368 --> 00:57:36,119 And some speculate the romance 380 00:57:36,161 --> 00:57:38,080 may not be confined to the screen. 381 00:57:41,208 --> 00:57:43,585 Many people thought I was his girlfriend, 382 00:57:43,627 --> 00:57:44,544 but I wasn't. 383 00:57:46,588 --> 00:57:50,926 - I was much too old. - I was 20. 384 00:57:55,305 --> 00:57:56,932 All four of Chaplin's wives 385 00:57:56,973 --> 00:57:58,517 were young actresses. 386 00:58:00,769 --> 00:58:02,604 Three were teenagers. 387 00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:08,777 I've asked the author of this book to visit us. 388 00:58:08,819 --> 00:58:10,570 Her name is Lita Grey Chaplin. 389 00:58:10,612 --> 00:58:12,280 The title is "My life With Chaplin." 390 00:58:12,322 --> 00:58:15,033 We only have one of Chaplin's wives on tape. 391 00:58:15,075 --> 00:58:17,577 Second wife of Charlie Chaplin and- 392 00:58:17,619 --> 00:58:21,832 1966 she releases her tell-all memoir. 393 00:58:21,873 --> 00:58:24,418 It is a controversial sensational book. 394 00:58:24,459 --> 00:58:26,711 And here is Lita Grey Chaplin. 395 00:58:33,677 --> 00:58:34,845 I'm curious, Lita, 396 00:58:34,886 --> 00:58:37,264 to find out why you would write this book. 397 00:58:38,890 --> 00:58:40,642 I had a compulsion to write it. 398 00:58:40,684 --> 00:58:43,061 I felt that the story just had to be told 399 00:58:43,103 --> 00:58:45,230 or rather I had to tell the story. 400 00:58:45,272 --> 00:58:48,108 I had lived so many years with the untrue story. 401 00:58:48,150 --> 00:58:51,111 You starred in one of his movies 402 00:58:51,153 --> 00:58:52,779 or you appeared in one of his movies. 403 00:58:52,821 --> 00:58:54,781 "The Kid" when I was 12 years old. 404 00:59:08,587 --> 00:59:10,130 Can I ask how old you were when you married him 405 00:59:10,172 --> 00:59:10,964 or is that a secret? 406 00:59:11,006 --> 00:59:11,840 Sixteen. 407 00:59:13,049 --> 00:59:15,844 And were you then heading for a motion picture career? 408 00:59:17,596 --> 00:59:20,015 Yes, I had begun in "The Gold Rush," but 409 00:59:23,185 --> 00:59:26,688 I couldn't finish the picture. 410 00:59:26,730 --> 00:59:28,732 Charlie takes two years to make a picture, you know, 411 00:59:28,773 --> 00:59:31,818 and we became involved in the meantime in such a way 412 00:59:31,860 --> 00:59:34,070 that I couldn't have completed the picture. 413 00:59:36,323 --> 00:59:40,368 A teenage girl pregnant with Chaplin's child. 414 00:59:42,287 --> 00:59:44,164 His first wife, Mildred Harris, 415 00:59:45,499 --> 00:59:47,042 went through something similar. 416 00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:52,714 She divorced Chaplin, citing mental cruelty. 417 00:59:54,883 --> 00:59:57,385 And things don't start any better for Lita. 418 00:59:59,679 --> 01:00:01,181 We were married in Mexico 419 01:00:01,223 --> 01:00:04,726 because Charlie didn't want much said about the marriage. 420 01:00:04,768 --> 01:00:06,478 He was pretty bitter in the beginning. 421 01:00:06,520 --> 01:00:09,898 On the way back on the train, he was quite nasty. 422 01:00:09,940 --> 01:00:12,734 We were standing out on the platform between the cars 423 01:00:12,776 --> 01:00:14,319 while the train was traveling. 424 01:00:14,819 --> 01:00:17,322 And he said, we could just end this whole situation 425 01:00:17,364 --> 01:00:18,573 if you'd just jump. 426 01:00:26,623 --> 01:00:29,751 Two years later, Lita sues for divorce 427 01:00:32,796 --> 01:00:35,090 and full custody of their two children. 428 01:00:38,009 --> 01:00:40,095 It is, up to this point, 429 01:00:40,136 --> 01:00:43,223 the most expensive divorce in Hollywood's history. 430 01:00:46,935 --> 01:00:49,437 The petition is so sensational 431 01:00:49,479 --> 01:00:52,190 that copies of it start selling on the street. 432 01:00:58,697 --> 01:01:01,992 Lita describes him as a serial adulterer 433 01:01:02,033 --> 01:01:04,619 who cheats openly and compulsively. 434 01:01:06,371 --> 01:01:08,790 She claims he's paranoid and jealous. 435 01:01:11,084 --> 01:01:12,836 That he flies into rages, 436 01:01:13,837 --> 01:01:17,799 bugs her room, pulls a gun on her. 437 01:01:19,342 --> 01:01:20,969 She says he tried to pressure her 438 01:01:21,011 --> 01:01:23,013 into getting a backstreet abortion. 439 01:01:26,516 --> 01:01:31,062 Chaplin calls Lita a blackmailer, a gold digger, 440 01:01:31,104 --> 01:01:32,147 a little whore. 441 01:01:36,651 --> 01:01:39,738 The papers label her Chaplin's child bride, 442 01:01:39,779 --> 01:01:41,656 his school girl wife. 443 01:01:44,367 --> 01:01:46,870 And in a letter of support for the genius Chaplin, 444 01:01:48,663 --> 01:01:50,832 30 European intellectuals brand her 445 01:01:50,874 --> 01:01:54,502 an idiot woman, cow, 446 01:01:54,544 --> 01:01:57,130 slut, vermin, parasite. 447 01:02:05,805 --> 01:02:09,059 A part of the public thought that I was wrong 448 01:02:09,100 --> 01:02:10,935 in my divorce case. 449 01:02:10,977 --> 01:02:16,024 That he was the poor little mistreated, pathetic little man 450 01:02:16,232 --> 01:02:18,109 with so much pathos and all. 451 01:02:18,151 --> 01:02:20,820 That me and my family were gold diggers 452 01:02:20,862 --> 01:02:23,156 and all this kind of talk. 453 01:02:23,198 --> 01:02:26,159 And that was, that made me feel bad 454 01:02:26,201 --> 01:02:28,286 because I knew that a portion of the public 455 01:02:28,328 --> 01:02:31,081 believed a lot because they idolized Charlie. 456 01:02:35,919 --> 01:02:37,712 For many years afterwards, 457 01:02:37,754 --> 01:02:40,382 Lita struggles with depression and alcohol. 458 01:02:46,763 --> 01:02:49,265 She tries to set the story straight in interviews, 459 01:02:52,268 --> 01:02:54,062 but the topic frequently strays back 460 01:02:54,104 --> 01:02:55,897 to the matter of Chaplin's genius. 461 01:03:04,864 --> 01:03:06,074 Even after her death, 462 01:03:07,701 --> 01:03:10,537 biographies of Chaplin continue to characterize her 463 01:03:10,578 --> 01:03:13,581 as a manipulative and seductive teenage girl. 464 01:03:17,836 --> 01:03:20,088 Chaplin, in his autobiography, 465 01:03:21,005 --> 01:03:23,800 dedicates just three sentences to Lita. 466 01:03:26,261 --> 01:03:27,971 He never mentions her by name. 467 01:04:03,298 --> 01:04:05,508 Lita's story is a shocking one. 468 01:04:07,969 --> 01:04:12,432 But for Chaplin it changes nothing. 469 01:04:50,553 --> 01:04:52,764 Plenty has changed though. 470 01:04:56,226 --> 01:05:01,147 The optimism of the Roaring Twenties has come crashing down 471 01:05:02,649 --> 01:05:05,026 and at every stop on Chaplin's world tour, 472 01:05:06,778 --> 01:05:09,364 he sees the ravages of the Great Depression. 473 01:05:11,783 --> 01:05:14,828 Communists and fascists are fighting in the streets. 474 01:05:22,001 --> 01:05:25,713 Queues outside screenings of "City Lights," 475 01:05:25,755 --> 01:05:27,382 are mistaken for bread lines. 476 01:05:38,518 --> 01:05:41,563 In London with Mahatma Gandhi, 477 01:05:41,604 --> 01:05:45,191 he discusses poverty, exploitation 478 01:05:45,233 --> 01:05:47,235 and the misuse of the machine. 479 01:05:50,405 --> 01:05:53,283 A film is taking shape in Chaplin's head. 480 01:07:09,859 --> 01:07:13,237 It's number one at the British Box Office, 481 01:07:13,279 --> 01:07:15,490 a smash in The States. 482 01:07:15,531 --> 01:07:17,325 Acclaimed in the Soviet Union. 483 01:07:19,953 --> 01:07:24,707 But in one country, the film is banned outright. 484 01:07:35,468 --> 01:07:37,553 Munich, 15 years earlier. 485 01:07:43,434 --> 01:07:46,145 A little man marches down the street, 486 01:07:46,688 --> 01:07:49,399 swishing at the air with some sort of cane. 487 01:07:52,735 --> 01:07:55,071 His comical appearance attracts attention, 488 01:07:55,697 --> 01:07:59,534 particularly his conspicuous toothbrush mustache. 489 01:08:01,869 --> 01:08:03,037 He looks very familiar. 490 01:08:05,873 --> 01:08:08,793 "Who is this funny little fellow?" someone asks. 491 01:08:12,505 --> 01:08:14,882 He's the leader of some fringe political group. 492 01:08:20,722 --> 01:08:23,641 "Just think," remarks Chaplin a few years later, 493 01:08:24,726 --> 01:08:27,186 "He's the madman, I'm the comic." 494 01:08:28,396 --> 01:08:30,398 But it could have been the other way around. 495 01:08:37,321 --> 01:08:41,242 Chaplin and Hitler are born within four days of each other. 496 01:08:43,786 --> 01:08:46,831 They both grow up adoring their mothers 497 01:08:46,873 --> 01:08:49,083 and resenting their drunken fathers. 498 01:08:51,419 --> 01:08:52,920 Both have known poverty. 499 01:08:54,047 --> 01:08:55,631 One plays a tramp on screen 500 01:08:57,341 --> 01:09:00,136 while the other is homeless on the streets of Vienna. 501 01:09:04,140 --> 01:09:07,935 Both are driven by a passionate intensity and ambition, 502 01:09:08,728 --> 01:09:10,271 laced with self-pity. 503 01:09:15,234 --> 01:09:20,364 Sound threatens Chaplin's art, but is the making of Hitler. 504 01:09:24,243 --> 01:09:26,621 They are both mesmeric performers. 505 01:09:28,748 --> 01:09:30,374 They know how to command a crowd 506 01:09:30,416 --> 01:09:32,543 through exaggerated gestures 507 01:09:32,585 --> 01:09:34,629 and heightened emotional appeals. 508 01:09:36,631 --> 01:09:40,635 Both elicit intense, almost physical reactions 509 01:09:40,676 --> 01:09:41,803 from their audiences. 510 01:09:43,179 --> 01:09:44,514 Chaplin makes them laugh. 511 01:09:45,890 --> 01:09:48,476 Hitler drives them into a frenzy. 512 01:09:53,898 --> 01:09:57,735 And then of course there's the mustache. 513 01:10:01,489 --> 01:10:03,866 But when Chaplin and Hitler look at each other, 514 01:10:05,201 --> 01:10:06,285 what do they see? 515 01:10:08,204 --> 01:10:09,831 The Nazis hate Chaplin. 516 01:10:10,706 --> 01:10:11,916 They label him a Jew 517 01:10:12,500 --> 01:10:15,503 and use him in their antisemitic propaganda. 518 01:10:32,854 --> 01:10:36,357 Neither can escape comparisons with the other. 519 01:10:38,025 --> 01:10:41,362 And so, as Hitler celebrates his 50th birthday 520 01:10:41,404 --> 01:10:43,656 with a military parade through Berlin, 521 01:10:45,783 --> 01:10:49,912 Chaplin is working on a script for his latest film. 522 01:10:52,123 --> 01:10:56,252 He begins filming the week Britain declares war on Germany. 523 01:10:59,213 --> 01:11:02,049 In it, Chaplin collapses the distinctions 524 01:11:02,091 --> 01:11:03,426 between himself and Hitler 525 01:11:05,553 --> 01:11:08,556 as the dictator Adenoid Hynkel. 526 01:11:19,942 --> 01:11:21,944 But it's also a story of doppelgangers. 527 01:11:23,613 --> 01:11:27,158

has finally aligned the Tramp with one identity. 534 01:11:47,803 --> 01:11:52,099 A persecuted minority facing extermination. 535 01:12:50,324 --> 01:12:51,909 At the film's end, 536 01:12:52,868 --> 01:12:55,663 the Tramp is mistaken for the dictator 537 01:13:00,251 --> 01:13:03,254 and forced to address the world. 538 01:13:07,967 --> 01:13:09,677 When the greatest comedy character 539 01:13:09,719 --> 01:13:11,971 of all time finally speaks, 540 01:13:13,973 --> 01:13:15,349 it's not to tell a joke. 541 01:13:18,352 --> 01:13:21,981 I'm sorry, but I don't want to be an emperor. 542 01:13:22,023 --> 01:13:23,316 That's not my business. 543 01:13:24,275 --> 01:13:26,777 I don't want to rule or conquer anyone. 544 01:13:26,819 --> 01:13:28,696 I should like to help

Human beings are like that. 548 01:13:35,828 --> 01:13:37,163 We want to live by each other's happiness, 549 01:13:37,204 --> 01:13:39,040 not by each other's misery. 550 01:13:39,081 --> 01:13:41,542 We don't want to hate and despise one another. 551 01:13:41,584 --> 01:13:43,044 In this world there's room for everyone 552 01:13:43,085 --> 01:13:46,839 and the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. 553 01:13:46,881 --> 01:13:49,967 The way of life can be free and beautiful, 554 01:13:50,009 --> 01:13:52,053 but we have lost the way. 555 01:13:52,094 --> 01:13:54,722 Greed has poisoned men's souls, 556 01:13:54,764 --> 01:13:57,058 has barricaded the world with hate, 557 01:13:57,099 --> 01:14:00,102 has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. 558 01:14:00,144

Our knowledge has made us cynical, 561 01:14:08,319 --> 01:14:10,613 our cleverness hard and unkind. 562 01:14:10,654 --> 01:14:13,074 We think too much and feel too little. 563 01:14:14,367 -->

01:14:20,414 --> 01:14:23,626 Then in the name of democracy, let us use that power. 567 01:14:23,667 --> 01:14:25,086 Let us all unite! 568 01:14:25,127 --> 01:14:28,798 Let us fight for a new

They never will! 574 01:14:40,976 --> 01:14:44,438 Dictators free themselves, but they enslave the people. 575 01:14:44,480 --> 01:14:47,566 Now let us fight to fulfill that promise. 576 01:14:47,608 --> 01:14:50,027 Let us fight to free the world, 577 01:14:50,069 --> 01:14:52,113 to do away with national barriers, 578 01:14:52,154 --> 01:14:55,783 to do away with greed,

01:15:02,748 to all men's happiness. 582 01:15:02,790 --> 01:15:07,336 Soldiers, in the name of democracy, let us all unite! 583 01:15:21,642 --> 01:15:25,146 Chaplin knows the Tramp can't survive this. 584 01:15:28,858 --> 01:15:30,651 By breaking his silence, 585 01:15:32,403 --> 01:15:34,780 he's putting his creation on the alter. 586 01:15:40,077 --> 01:15:43,330 But after a quarter of a century in the Tramp costume, 587 01:15:46,625 --> 01:15:48,002 can Chaplin be sure 588 01:15:49,837 --> 01:15:51,672 that he will re-emerge whole? 589 01:15:56,051 --> 01:15:58,053 Can there be one 590 01:15:59,472 --> 01:16:00,931 without the other? 591 01:16:21,994 --> 01:16:23,662 It's 1947. 592 01:16:26,540 --> 01:16:28,709 Charlie Chaplin is holding a press conference 593 01:16:28,751 --> 01:16:30,503 at the Gotham Hotel in New York. 594 01:16:34,048 --> 01:16:36,383 He's about to release his new motion picture. 595 01:16:38,219 --> 01:16:40,763 His first without the Tramp. 596 01:16:43,432 --> 01:16:48,437 But as he knows, no one's here to talk about the film. 597 01:16:49,396 --> 01:16:50,856 Chaplin. 598 01:17:29,728 --> 01:17:32,815 So, how did we get here? 599 01:17:37,152 --> 01:17:40,155 "The Great Dictator" has been an enormous success 600 01:17:41,490 --> 01:17:44,326 and its closing speech has made such a splash 601 01:17:44,827 --> 01:17:47,288 that Chaplin is invited to repeat it 602 01:17:48,539 --> 01:17:52,876 at the inauguration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. 603 01:17:52,918

01:17:59,508 --> 01:18:03,554 that in the name of democracy, let us use that power. 607 01:18:03,596 --> 01:18:05,014 Let us all unite! 608 01:18:05,055 --> 01:18:07,766 At a fundraiser for

He speaks for 40. 612 01:18:13,230 --> 01:18:16,025 And only by the strength of unity 613 01:18:16,066 --> 01:18:17,818 can we win this war. 614 01:18:17,860 --> 01:18:20,279 He gets carried away, goes off script. 615 01:18:20,321 --> 01:18:22,906 I certainly think if that's communism, 616 01:18:22,948 --> 01:18:24,491 there's a lot of people in the United States 617 01:18:24,533 --> 01:18:25,576 that'll vote for it. 618 01:18:28,662 --> 01:18:31,624 Having waited so long to break his silence, 619 01:18:33,042 --> 01:18:34,793 Chaplin can't stop talking. 620 01:18:35,836 --> 01:18:38,047 I just made a speech in Chicago 621 01:18:38,088 --> 01:18:41,550 and I happened to say that while people are anticommunist, 622 01:18:41,592 --> 01:18:43,761 I am going to be communistic. 623 01:18:45,471 --> 01:18:46,930 We must have the full strength 624 01:18:46,972 --> 01:18:49,350 from the capitalist to the communist, 625 01:18:49,391 --> 01:18:52,019 in order that we shall achieve victory. 626 01:18:55,814 --> 01:18:59,735 And people are starting to listen. 627 01:19:05,991 --> 01:19:08,369 Under the orders of its notorious director, 628 01:19:08,410 --> 01:19:10,663 J. Edgar Hoover, 629 01:19:10,704 --> 01:19:14,500 the FBI is engaged in wide ranging investigation 630 01:19:14,541 --> 01:19:16,543 into Chaplin's possible ties 631 01:19:17,711 --> 01:19:20,130 to the international communist movement. 632 01:19:23,342 --> 01:19:25,761 The Red Scare is underway, 633 01:19:26,929 --> 01:19:28,806 from Capitol hill to Hollywood. 634 01:19:30,599 --> 01:19:33,811 Communism in reality is akin to disease 635 01:19:33,852 --> 01:19:35,688 that's spread like an epidemic. 636 01:19:35,729 --> 01:19:37,314 And like an epidemic, 637 01:19:37,356 --> 01:19:40,901 a quarantine is necessary to keep from infecting the state. 638 01:19:41,985 --> 01:19:44,279 Actors, writers and filmmakers 639 01:19:44,321 --> 01:19:45,614 are dragged

--> 01:19:57,710 If I had my way about it, 646 01:19:57,751 --> 01:19:59,670 they'd all be sent back to Russia 647 01:19:59,712 --> 01:20:01,964 or some other unpleasant place. 648 01:20:04,591 -->

be a major coup for Hoover 651 01:20:21,775 --> 01:20:25,946 and they don't come much bigger than Charlie Chaplin. 652 01:20:25,988 --> 01:20:28,365 Are you a member of the communist party? 653 01:21:01,231 --> 01:21:04,193 But this response doesn't satisfy Hoover. 654 01:21:06,153 --> 01:21:08,071 Through the FBI's lens, 655 01:21:08,113 --> 01:21:10,491 Chaplin becomes not

01:23:20,120 as an aspiring young actress. 696 01:23:25,792 --> 01:23:27,961 Charlie Chaplin took an interest in her. 697 01:23:30,088 --> 01:23:32,007 He said he could make her a star. 698 01:23:36,970 --> 01:23:41,141 Now she's pregnant and she needs help. 699 01:23:46,021 --> 01:23:49,816 Hopper and Hoover sense an opportunity. 700 01:23:54,446 --> 01:23:57,741 Chaplin is taken to court to prove that he's the father. 701 01:24:00,369 --> 01:24:03,455 And Hopper ensures the whole case plays out, 702 01:24:03,497 --> 01:24:07,709 week-by-week in the tabloid press. 703 01:24:11,380 --> 01:24:13,840 The prosecutor tears into Chaplin. 704 01:24:16,009 --> 01:24:18,220 He reveals that Chaplin forced Barry 705 01:24:18,261 --> 01:24:20,347 to have two backstreet abortions 706 01:24:21,765 --> 01:24:25,185 and accuses him of decades of predatory behavior. 707 01:24:29,856 --> 01:24:32,067 Three grueling trials later, 708 01:24:34,486 --> 01:24:37,197 a blood test suggests he may not be the father. 709 01:24:40,367 --> 01:24:41,410 But it's too late. 710 01:24:43,578 --> 01:24:46,373 The tide has finally turned. 711 01:24:50,919 --> 01:24:54,756 It's a great victory for the right wing press and the FBI. 712 01:25:03,765 --> 01:25:05,517 But what about Joan Barry? 713 01:25:09,396 --> 01:25:10,731 Where does this leave her? 714 01:25:16,361 --> 01:25:17,571 A few years later, 715 01:25:18,739 --> 01:25:21,033 she is committed to a psychiatric hospital. 716 01:25:25,162 --> 01:25:26,955 There's no further trace of her. 717 01:25:31,543 --> 01:25:36,965 And now it's open season on Charlie Chaplin. 718 01:27:18,650 --> 01:27:22,279 Now that it's ended 719 01:27:22,320 --> 01:27:26,825 The romance is over 720 01:27:26,867 --> 01:27:30,162 The passion gone 721 01:27:30,203 --> 01:27:35,208 Like the wind and the rain 722 01:27:35,792 --> 01:27:38,628 Gone are the joys 723 01:27:38,670 --> 01:27:42,966 Of our madness 724 01:27:43,008 --> 01:27:46,219 When I dream of you 725 01:27:46,803 --> 01:27:49,556 In the midst of all these scandals, 726 01:27:51,266 --> 01:27:52,350 he's married again. 727 01:27:55,937 --> 01:27:57,397 Oona O'Neill. 728 01:28:06,031 --> 01:28:08,742 My mother was so young when she met him. 729 01:28:11,494 --> 01:28:16,499 She was 17 and he was 52, I think. 730 01:28:19,794 --> 01:28:21,046 They fell in love 731 01:28:21,087 --> 01:28:23,757 and then as soon as she turned 18, they married. 732 01:28:26,885 --> 01:28:29,721 Everyone thought that she was just a bimbo 733 01:28:29,763 --> 01:28:31,598 and that she'd be gone soon. 734 01:28:41,650 --> 01:28:43,235 They were mad about each other. 735 01:28:47,530 --> 01:28:50,992 The only opinion he listened to was my mother's. 736 01:28:51,034 --> 01:28:55,747 Just couldn't do nothing without her approval. 737 01:29:01,503 --> 01:29:02,754 She was the sunshine. 738 01:29:04,839 --> 01:29:06,675 She gave warmth. 739 01:29:25,902 --> 01:29:28,822 But his next film, "Limelight," 740 01:29:30,031 --> 01:29:32,450 betrays an underlying anxiety. 741 01:29:49,259 --> 01:29:52,887 In it, he's an aging comedian. 742 01:29:56,016 --> 01:29:59,185 Once renowned for playing a beloved Tramp character 743 01:30:01,479 --> 01:30:02,355 whose public 744 01:30:06,026 --> 01:30:07,527 has now abandoned him. 745 01:30:35,096 --> 01:30:38,725 On September 17th, 1952, 746 01:30:39,851 --> 01:30:42,520 the Chaplin family depart the United States 747 01:30:42,562 --> 01:30:44,564 to attend the European premiere. 748 01:30:52,614 --> 01:30:55,367 Two days into the voyage- 749 01:30:57,577 --> 01:30:58,912 The story which makes the most sensational news 750 01:30:58,953 --> 01:31:01,122 is the departure of Charlie Chaplin for London. 751 01:31:01,164 --> 01:31:03,249 Immigration officials are prompt to suggest 752 01:31:03,291 --> 01:31:05,752 that the great comic may have difficulty getting back here 753 01:31:05,794 --> 01:31:07,003 if he wants to come. 754 01:31:07,045 --> 01:31:08,171 The United States Attorney General, 755 01:31:08,213 --> 01:31:09,923 James P. McGranery, 756 01:31:09,964 --> 01:31:10,799 heard that Chaplin had been-- 757 01:31:10,840 --> 01:31:12,675 Charged with making statements 758 01:31:12,717 --> 01:31:17,222 that would indicate a leering, sneering attitude 759 01:31:18,973 --> 01:31:22,143 toward a country whose gracious hospitality 760 01:31:23,311 --> 01:31:24,521 has enriched him. 761 01:31:24,562 --> 01:31:25,897 And then at the Justice Department 762 01:31:25,939 --> 01:31:28,441 decided that Chaplin could not re-enter the country, 763 01:31:28,483 --> 01:31:32,362 unless he could prove quote "His moral worth." 764 01:31:50,672 --> 01:31:53,133 This has been years in the making. 765 01:31:56,511 --> 01:31:58,221 His enemies have tried everything. 766 01:32:02,142 --> 01:32:03,351 But in the end, 767 01:32:06,020 --> 01:32:07,605 they just wait until he leaves. 768 01:32:24,873 --> 01:32:26,916 Chaplin sells his Hollywood studio 769 01:32:28,126 --> 01:32:30,170 and retreats to Switzerland. 770 01:32:41,222 --> 01:32:43,850 He moves the family into a grand estate 771 01:32:46,060 --> 01:32:47,979 ringed by the Alps. 772 01:33:01,242 --> 01:33:04,078 The sentence I remember most, him saying. 773 01:33:09,417 --> 01:33:12,045 "I'm not bitter about America. 774 01:33:13,421 --> 01:33:15,882 I'm not bitter about America. 775 01:33:17,467 --> 01:33:21,554 - Bitter about America? - I'm not bitter about America." 776 01:33:23,056 --> 01:33:27,727 He said it so many times one begins to wonder. 777 01:33:37,779 --> 01:33:42,742 And Chaplin is forced to adapt to his new role 778 01:33:44,702 --> 01:33:45,745 as a father. 779 01:33:53,253 --> 01:33:55,421 My father wasn't Charlie Chaplin. 780 01:34:00,051 --> 01:34:01,678 I knew they were the same person, 781 01:34:02,887 --> 01:34:04,514 but they looked nothing alike. 782 01:34:08,184 --> 01:34:10,186 Except when he had an audience, 783 01:34:10,228 --> 01:34:12,105 then he would become Charlie Chaplin, 784 01:34:13,982 --> 01:34:16,401 that other man, the man that was on the screen. 785 01:34:21,698 --> 01:34:23,283 This is the Charlie Chaplin we find 786 01:34:23,324 --> 01:34:24,951 in the family's home movies. 787 01:34:32,000 --> 01:34:33,751 A cheerful clown who appears 788 01:34:33,793 --> 01:34:35,670 the moment the camera starts rolling. 789 01:34:50,268 --> 01:34:52,020 My one wish growing up 790 01:34:53,438 --> 01:34:58,401 was to have one conversation alone with my father. 791 01:35:03,990 --> 01:35:05,325 Just the two of us. 792 01:35:10,246 --> 01:35:13,791 He was inaccessible in so many ways. 793 01:35:16,461 --> 01:35:18,004 Your father's working. 794 01:35:19,172 --> 01:35:20,173 Don't disturb him. 795 01:35:23,259 --> 01:35:25,178 He'll lose his inspiration. 796 01:35:29,098 --> 01:35:33,895 Our world revolved around my father's well being. 797 01:35:41,486 --> 01:35:45,698 I was kind of frightened of my father. 798 01:35:52,246 --> 01:35:54,374 He was so powerful in a certain way. 799 01:35:59,003 --> 01:36:02,215 You couldn't argue with him because he couldn't be wrong. 800 01:36:06,928 --> 01:36:09,806 Everyone who gets too close to him, 801 01:36:09,847 --> 01:36:11,391 he'll end up suffocating. 802 01:36:14,769 --> 01:36:15,895 He couldn't help it. 803 01:36:20,191 --> 01:36:22,193 That's why I left home at an early age. 804 01:36:23,986 --> 01:36:27,115 And I think my sisters did too, you know. 805 01:36:44,298 --> 01:36:46,759 Chaplin makes two films in exile. 806 01:36:51,806 --> 01:36:54,434 But neither is the comeback he hopes for. 807 01:37:03,109 --> 01:37:04,527 He said to me, 808 01:37:07,363 --> 01:37:08,781 "I was very famous. 809 01:37:10,324 --> 01:37:11,868 I used to be very famous." 810 01:37:16,164 --> 01:37:17,373 It did matter to him. 811 01:37:19,542 --> 01:37:21,043 Of course it mattered to him. 812 01:37:24,297 --> 01:37:25,757 He needed an audience. 813 01:37:27,133 --> 01:37:28,134 He was a comedian. 814 01:37:30,762 --> 01:37:32,346 You need an audience. 815 01:37:37,185 --> 01:37:38,644 Correction. 816 01:37:38,686 --> 01:37:40,772 It strikes me that happiness is becoming more difficult. 817 01:37:40,813 --> 01:37:42,690 New paragraph. 818 01:37:42,732 --> 01:37:44,108 To write a book. 819 01:37:44,150 --> 01:37:46,319 A great controversy was going on in the press, comma... 820 01:37:46,360 --> 01:37:49,906 - In this day and age we... - ...comma. 821 01:37:49,947 --> 01:37:52,200 Paragraph...of unconsciousness. 822 01:38:08,299 --> 01:38:10,885 In the pages of his memoir, 823 01:38:10,927 --> 01:38:12,887 Chaplin revisits, once more, 824 01:38:12,929 --> 01:38:14,972 the streets he wandered as a boy. 825 01:38:23,648 --> 01:38:25,983 The streets he haunts as an old man. 826 01:38:38,913 --> 01:38:41,374 The streets he returned to time and again, 827 01:38:43,417 --> 01:38:44,418 as the Tramp. 828 01:38:54,971 --> 01:38:56,430 His old Lambeth neighborhood, 829 01:38:59,642 --> 01:39:01,894 he rebuilt it in his Hollywood studio. 830 01:39:15,449 --> 01:39:17,034 The gates of Killington Park, 831 01:39:19,328 --> 01:39:22,081 here Chaplin met for a date with his first love. 832 01:39:25,293 --> 01:39:27,712 It's where the Tramp meets the flower girl. 833 01:39:33,342 --> 01:39:36,095 And the attic of No. 3 Pownall Terrace. 834 01:39:39,974 --> 01:39:43,102 Where young Charlie watched his mother's health ebb away. 835 01:39:51,402 --> 01:39:54,155 It's the attic room in "The Kid." 836 01:40:05,750 --> 01:40:08,461 And if Chaplin isn't finished with the past, 837 01:40:10,796 --> 01:40:14,258 the past certainly isn't finished with him. 838 01:40:25,353 --> 01:40:30,316 When Hollywood stages a grand reconciliation at the Oscars, 839 01:40:32,109 --> 01:40:35,154 it seems like a bid to turn back the clock. 840 01:40:49,001 --> 01:40:51,379 When he's knighted in 1975, 841 01:40:53,214 --> 01:40:56,509 people are still searching for traces of the little fellow. 842 01:40:57,927 --> 01:40:59,303 Sir Charles left the palace, 843 01:40:59,345 --> 01:41:01,013 not with his famous cane, 844 01:41:01,055 --> 01:41:03,015 but now leaning on a thick walking stick. 845 01:41:03,057 --> 01:41:05,935 He's 86 next month and he sat in a wheelchair 846 01:41:05,977 --> 01:41:07,269 as the queen dubbed him. 847 01:41:07,311 --> 01:41:08,854 Is there anyone left 848 01:41:09,897 --> 01:41:14,568 who can look at one without seeing the other? 849 01:42:39,945 --> 01:42:42,698 When you ask for the real Charlie Chaplin, 850 01:42:45,451 --> 01:42:46,827 a thousand voices reply. 851 01:42:48,621 --> 01:42:49,663 Take care. 852 01:42:58,089 --> 01:43:00,466 Some are louder than others. 853 01:43:14,647 --> 01:43:16,107 Some are hidden. 854 01:43:20,694 --> 01:43:23,447 Some struggle to be heard. 855 01:43:27,743 --> 01:43:28,619 And others 856 01:43:31,664 --> 01:43:32,832 remain silent. 857 01:43:45,386 --> 01:43:49,348 I think if anyone could pin my father down, 858 01:43:49,390 --> 01:43:52,309 could understand him 859 01:43:52,351 --> 01:43:54,019 it was my mother. 860 01:43:58,232 --> 01:44:00,025 My mother's voice doesn't exist. 861 01:44:03,112 --> 01:44:04,363 There's nothing with her. 862 01:44:10,494 --> 01:44:12,746 No recorded interviews. 863 01:44:16,667 --> 01:44:19,003 Certainly she kept journals. She kept diaries. 864 01:44:24,508 --> 01:44:27,219 Writing was, I think, her way of escaping. 865 01:44:29,889 --> 01:44:33,225 Writing furiously, writing continuously. 866 01:44:43,277 --> 01:44:44,486 In her last years, 867 01:44:46,780 --> 01:44:48,782 she spent a lot of time destroying, 868 01:44:51,619 --> 01:44:53,245 destroying what she had written. 869 01:44:58,542 --> 01:45:00,002 She was probably very lonely. 870 01:45:05,507 --> 01:45:07,009 I could imagine it would be quite lonely 871 01:45:07,051 --> 01:45:08,761 being the wife of Charlie Chaplin. 872 01:45:20,522 --> 01:45:22,274 That big wish that I had, 873 01:45:23,776 --> 01:45:27,279 to have conversation alone with my father. 874 01:45:30,866 --> 01:45:32,243 I forgot about it. 875 01:45:33,494 --> 01:45:35,579 I thought, "Oh, you
