Limelight is a 1952 comedy drama film starring Charlie Chaplin, Claire Bloom (who observes her 92nd birthday today), Nigel Bruce, Norman Lloyd, and Buster Keaton. What a beautiful story, a touching movie about what love means. I watched it on HBO Max.
trailer:
Criterion calls it "masterful drama" and "among the writer-director’s most touching films". Roger Ebert calls it "probably his [Chaplin's] most personal, revealing film". Rotten Tomatoes has a critics consensus score of 97%.

DeleteOooh, I think I found what I'm watching while having my lunch
ReplyDeleteSounds like a plan. I haven't decided on mine yet...
DeleteThis movie is a treasure, Nita. I love it. On another note -- Between company last week, prepping for a Cork Poppers do, an ear and/or sinus infection, and then this week's mass shooting in our town, I'm so behind blog reading, I'll never catch up! I'll try to take a look at all but not comment and hopefully be back on schedule this week!
ReplyDeleteYou've got enough going on without worrying about blog comments.
DeleteI wish I could see this. Charlie Chaplin was a master at his art and craft.
ReplyDeleteHe was brilliant, wasn't he!
DeleteAnother one to put on my watchlist because I am not sure if I have seen this one or not. ;)
