Charlie Chaplin vs. America : when art, sex, and politics collided Cover Image Book

Charlie Chaplin vs. America : when art, sex, and politics collided / Scott Eyman.

Charlie Chaplin versus America (other title)
Eyman, Scott, 1951- (author.).

Summary:

"The dramatic story of how Charlie Chaplin--perhaps the most important figure in Hollywood history--suddenly became a pariah in his adopted country and went into a twenty-year exile abroad, a story as relevant today as when it happened. In Charlie Chaplin vs. America, bestselling biographer and film historian Scott Eyman tells the surprising, disturbing story of the decades when the movie genius who brought us such masterpieces as City Lights and Modern Times became too controversial for his adopted homeland. This is a perceptive, insightful portrait of Chaplin and of an America, not unlike today, consumed by political turmoil."-- Front flap.
