Down the memory lane : in 1975, 2 years before his death, Charlie Chaplin goes to London to receive his knighthood from the Queen. “The Guardian’s moving article, Chaplin in Limelight”:http://www.guardian.co.uk/theguardian/2010/jun/22/archive-charlie-chaplin-in-limelight, describes how this old and diminished man gathers up his energy to receive his ultimate honor with his beloved wife Oona, still thinking about his next film…
