Film Description

Chaplin's final American film tells the story of a fading music hall comedian's effort to help a despondent ballet dancer (Claire Bloom) learn both to walk and feel confident about life again. Chaplin's tribute to the Limehouse London of his youth is a poignant film that also features his only performance together with Buster Keaton.

While touring Britain to promote the film Chaplin learned that he had been refused a re-entry visa to the United States because of his alleged communist sympathies. To add insult to injury, many American theaters refused to play Limelight and it was not until 1972 that it was more widely seen.
