Chaplin again vocalised his political views in Monsieur Verdoux, criticising capitalism and arguing that the world encourages mass killing through wars and weapons of mass destruction. [272] Because of this, the film met with controversy when it was released in April 1947; [273] Chaplin was booed at the premiere, and there were calls for a boycott. [274] Monsieur Verdoux was the first Chaplin release that failed both critically and commercially in the United States. [275] It was more successful abroad, [276] and Chaplin's screenplay was nominated at the Academy Awards. [277] He was proud of the film, writing in his autobiography, " Monsieur Verdoux is the cleverest and most brilliant film I have yet made." [278]

Trivia

Chaplin later said that if he had known the extent of the Nazi Party's actions he would not have made the film; "Had I known the actual horrors of the German concentration camps, I could not have made The Great Dictator; I could not have made fun of the homicidal insanity of the Nazis."

Charles Spencer Chaplin Jr. was born on 16 April 1889 to Hannah Chaplin (née Hill) and Charles Chaplin Sr. His paternal grandmother came from the Smith family, who belonged to Romani people. [1] [2] [3] [4] There is no official record of his birth, although Chaplin believed he was born at East Street, Walworth, in South London. [5] [a] His parents had married four years previously, at which time Charles Sr. became the legal guardian of Hannah's first son, Sydney John Hill. [9] [b] At the time of his birth, Chaplin's parents were both music hall entertainers. Hannah, the daughter of a shoemaker, [10] had a brief and unsuccessful career under the stage name Lily Harley, [11] while Charles Sr., a butcher's son, [12] was a popular singer. [13] Although they never divorced, Chaplin's parents were estranged by around 1891. [14] The following year, Hannah gave birth to a third son, George Wheeler Dryden, fathered by the music hall entertainer Leo Dryden. The child was taken by Dryden at six months old, and did not re-enter Chaplin's life for thirty years. [15] Welcome to IMAX United Kingdom". IMAX. Archived from the original on 4 June 2015 .

The Great Dictator spent a year in production and was released in October 1940. [241] The film generated a vast amount of publicity, with a critic for The New York Times calling it "the most eagerly awaited picture of the year", and it was one of the biggest money-makers of the era. [242] The ending was unpopular, however, and generated controversy. [243] Chaplin concluded the film with a five-minute speech in which he abandoned his barber character, looked directly into the camera, and pleaded against war and fascism. [244] Charles J. Maland has identified this overt preaching as triggering a decline in Chaplin's popularity, and writes, "Henceforth, no movie fan would ever be able to separate the dimension of politics from [his] star image". [245] Nevertheless, both Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt liked the film, which they saw at private screenings before its release. Roosevelt subsequently invited Chaplin to read the film's final speech over the radio during his January 1941 inauguration, with the speech becoming a "hit" of the celebration. Chaplin was often invited to other patriotic functions to read the speech to audiences during the years of the war. [246] The Great Dictator received five Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay and Best Actor. [247] Legal troubles and Oona O'Neill Cardullo, Bert (2009).

Chaplin soon found work with a new company and went on tour with his brother, who was also pursuing an acting career, in a comedy sketch called Repairs. [45] In May 1906, Chaplin joined the juvenile act Casey's Circus, [46] where he developed popular burlesque pieces and was soon the star of the show. By the time the act finished touring in July 1907, the 18-year-old had become an accomplished comedic performer. [47] He struggled to find more work, however, and a brief attempt at a solo act was a failure.

He remembered confidently entertaining the crowd, and receiving laughter and applause. [30]

[474] In the mid-1940s, Chaplin was involved in a series of trials that occupied most of his time and significantly affected his public image. [248] The troubles stemmed from his affair with an aspiring actress named Joan Barry, with whom he was involved intermittently between June 1941 and the autumn of 1942. [249] Barry, who displayed obsessive behaviour and was twice arrested after they separated, [z] reappeared the following year and announced that she was pregnant with Chaplin's child. As Chaplin denied the claim, Barry filed a paternity suit against him. [250]
