This book is the first complete survey of Chaplin's work,and includes a detailed synopsis of each and every Chaplin film, from the earliest Keystone farces up to Chaplin's latest and most sophisticated productions, with an assessment of their interest to a present-day viewer.Included are unique statistical data on the original footages and running times of Chaplin's silents, drawn from the archives of the Swedish Board of Censors,whose solemn and often outraged utterances cast comic sidelight on how the watchdogs of early 20thC morality saw Chaplin's art. There are brief biographies of some of Chaplin's more notable colleagues,his rivals and imitators,and biographical information on Chaplin himself and the birth of his immortal
'Charlie' figure.There is a chapter on
'Spurious Chaplin Films'.
Uno Asplund is a noted Swedish film journalist.He has devoted many years to collecting and studying Chaplin's films, of which he has a complete library.Book out-of-print,as publisher ceased trading late 1980's.
