Charlie Chaplin makes us laugh. He brings joy and happiness to a world he views with timeless humour and emotion. His personality, his boundless humanism, his outrage over injustice for the little man and the virulent criticism he levies on many forms of oppression combine to impart a human, social and universal dimension to his work.

His screenplays feature a worldly-wise little gentleman, charming, suave, captivating, funny, romantic, irreverent, at times rebellious, caught up in the vagaries of the times and our quest for dignity and happiness.

As a film maker he has attained an artistic maturity characterized by a merger of comedy and drama with a film technique bordering on perfection.

Charlie Chaplin is a colossus among giants. He revolutionized the 7th Art and his works remain among the greatest masterworks of the 20th century.
