Charlie Chaplin has never ceased to inspire writers wether for his life or the myth he created around the character of the little tramp.

One (“The Tramp’s Odyssey”:http://www.charliechaplin.com/products/books/60-The-Tramp-s-Odyssey) “weighs the relationship between the Tramp, his creator, and his worldwide fans”.

The other (“Chaplin: A Life”:http://www.charliechaplin.com/products/books/59-Chaplin-A-Life) “illuminates both the screen legend and the turbulent era through which he lived and worked”

P.S : some of you may have noticed a whole new site has been created. More about it soon!

Happy Birthday !


Today (ahem yesterday, sorry for that) Charlie Chaplin would have been 120 years old. But never has he been so young in our hearts, and so modern in these times of crisis.

The best way to celebrate him is of course to watch his films. Have you seen any on wide screen accompanied by live orchestra ? It’s a unique experience. Also there are more and more of them planned, specially in the U.S. and we only get reports of great success.

The schedules are at our “SHOWS Section”:http://www.charliechaplin.com/news/live_performances

In France the 26 of November la Cité de la musique is projecting shorts (public domain) accompanied by Student of “le Conservatoire de Paris” jazz section.

Chaplin at the Symphony with Dan Kamin


h3. West Virginia Symphony presents Chaplin at the Symphony

“An uproarious evening of comedy and music! There’s no better way to experience the art of Charlie Chaplin than the way his original audiences did—on the big screen, with live musical accompaniment. And there’s no better person to introduce his artistry than Dan Kamin, who trained Robert Downey, Jr. for his Oscar-nominated performance as the comedian. The fun begins as Dan creates a silent movie live on stage, drawing both conductor Grant Cooper and the musicians into the comic action. Then Dan introduces two timeless Chaplin comedies, Easy Street and The Immigrant, accompanied by terrific new symphonic scores by our own maestro Cooper.”
