Download or read book Charlie Chaplin and A Woman of Paris written by Wes D. Gehring and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2021-01-12 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charlie Chaplin's A Woman of Paris (1923) was a groundbreaking film which was neither a simple recycling of Peggy Hopkins Joyce's story, nor quickly forgotten. Through heavily-documented "period research," this book lands several bombshells, including Paris is deeply rooted in Chaplin's previous films and his relationship with Edna Purviance, Paris was not rejected by heartland America, Chaplin did "romantic research" (especially with Pola Negri), and Paris' many ongoing influences have never been fully appreciated. These are just a few of the mistakes about Paris.
Download or read book Love and Loss in Hollywood written by Cooper C. Graham and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2021-02-23 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1919, Florence Deshon—tall, radical, and charismatic—was well on her way to becoming one of Hollywood's brightest stars. Embroiled in a clandestine affair with Charlie Chaplin, she continued to remain romantically involved with the well-known writer and socialist Max Eastman. By 1922, she was found dead in a New York apartment, rumored to have committed suicide. Love and Loss in Hollywood: Florence Deshon, Max Eastman, and Charlie Chaplin uses previously unpublished letters between Deshon and Eastman to reconstruct their relationship against the backdrop of the "golden age" of Hollywood. Deshon's tragic life and her abuse at the hands of powerful men—including Chaplin, Eastman, and Samuel Goldwyn—resonate with the concerns of today's MeToo movement. Above all, though, this is a book about an extraordinary woman unjustly forgotten: a brilliant writer and campaigner for women's rights, driven both by her ambition to succeed and a boundless desire for life. Rich in tantalizing detail, Love and Loss in Hollywood chronicles crucial years of American film history, overshadowed by the pervasive fear of Bolshevism after World War I, the Red Riots, and the emergence of the big studios in Hollywood. This beautiful edition features dozens of unpublished photographs, among them six mesmerizing full-length portraits of Deshon by Adolph de Meyer, Vogue's first fashion photographer.
Download or read book A Comedian Sees the World written by Charlie Chaplin and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 2014-12-21 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Film star Charlie Chaplin spent February 1931 through June 1932 touring Europe, during which time he wrote a travel memoir entitled “A Comedian Sees the World.” This memoir was published as a set of five articles in Women’s Home Companion from September 1933 to January 1934 but until now had never been published as a book in the U.S. In presenting the first edition of Chaplin’s full memoir, Lisa Stein Haven provides her own introduction and notes to supplement Chaplin’s writing and enhance the narrative. Haven’s research revealed that “A Comedian Sees the World” may very well have been Chaplin’s first published composition, and that it was definitely the beginning of his writing career. It also marked a transition into becoming more vocally political for Chaplin, as his subsequent writings and films started to take on more noticeably political stances following his European tour. During his tour, Chaplin spent time with numerous politicians, celebrities, and world leaders, ranging from Winston Churchill and Mahatma Gandhi to Albert Einstein and many others, all of whom inspired his next feature films, Modern Times (1936), The Great Dictator (1940), Monsieur Verdoux (1947), and A King in New York (1957). His excellent depiction of his experiences, coupled with Haven’s added insights, makes for a brilliant account of Chaplin’s travels and shows another side to the man whom most know only from his roles on the silver screen. Historians, travelers, and those with any bit of curiosity about one of America’s most beloved celebrities will all want to have A Comedian Sees the World in their collections. Available only in the USA and Canada.

Download or read book Charlie Chaplin written by Dylan George and published by Character-19. This book was released on 2020-10-13 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chaplin’s origins date back to London at the tail end of the 19th Century and a childhood that was fragmented with hardship and sorrow. He was denied the foundation of a stable family environment and was forced to eke out a living from a very early age by whatever means he could…whether that was in his preferred environment of the theatre or in more conservative and traditional surroundings. His elder brother Sydney was at his side throughout his formative years and the two were extremely close throughout their lives. Despite this inauspicious start, Charlie triumphed over adversity and landed in America determined to make his own fame and fortune. This he achieved in a few short years having accidentally stumbled upon a character that would take the world by storm while preparing for his second cinematic engagement. Randomly picking an outfit that included big shoes, a hat that was too small, baggy trousers and a walking cane thrown in as an afterthought, “The Tramp” had arrived on stage and the silver screen. Chaplin topped off the persona he manifested with a unique “toothbrush” moustache and an enduring legend was born. He was all set to take Hollywood and the rest of the world by storm and he didn’t disappoint. It didn’t take long for Chaplin to add writing and directing to his already impressive resumé and he soon became Hollywood’s most prominent star. Even when contracts were due to expire, he never failed to find an alternative employer – such was the clamour for his talents. The 1910s and 1920s were a very prolific period in the silent movie industry, so much so that – despite slowing down as age advanced – Charlie Chaplin’s career list of films tops the 80 mark. Even though some of his films were not well received at the time of their release, looking back most will concede that each and every one is worthy of praise – some perhaps more than others – and provide a suitable legacy to the life and career of the one and only Sir Charlie Chaplin…
Download or read book Charlie Chaplin at Keystone and Essanay written by Ted Okuda and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2005-08 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charlie Chaplin is universally hailed as the greatest comedic talent in the history of motion pictures. And yet Chaplin's early efforts-which account for more than half of his total output-are often overlooked in favor of his later films. In 1914 Chaplin appeared in a total of 35 films for the Keystone Film Company; the following year he signed with the Essanay Film Manufacturing Company, where he wrote, directed and starred in more than a dozen short comedies. Though the resulting pictures were frequently crude and erratic, they reveal the emergence of a formidable comic genius. Charlie Chaplin at Keystone and Essanay: Dawn of the Tramp is a film-by-film examination of this period in Chaplin's career, tracing the birth of his beloved 'Tramp" character and his evolution as an actor and filmmaker. Also discussed are how these movies have been re-edited, recopied, reissued and retitled over the years, with a special section that matches pseudonym titles to their original source film. Charlie Chaplin at Keystone and Essanay: Dawn of the Tramp is a fascinating look at the first celluloid steps taken by this legendary laughmaker, and is a must for all Chaplin fans, old and new.
