The Films of Charlie Chaplin edited by Gerald D. McDonald

This book is a record in words and pictures of the work of one of the most 
famous men of the 20th century, the Little Tramp who brought the spark of 
genius to motion pictures and the great gift of laughter to his worldwide audience. 
From his debut in 1914 until publication of this book, Chaplin made eighty films. 
Each is separately considered here, with casts (often fuller than those previously 
published), credits, synopses, and quotations from reviews. Some of the reviews, 
written when the films were first shown, are remarkable in their perceptiveness, 
and others will now seem amazing because of what the critics failed to see. 
All of Chaplin's films are illustrated with pictures - some of which had never before 
been published. The many rare stills, assembled in this country and in Europe, from 
private collections and film archives, make a pictorial record of memorable and hilarious 
moments in a great career, tracing Chaplin's creative development from the pop-art 
simplicity of the Keystone slapstick comedies to the artistic perfections of such 
masterpieces as "Easy Street," "Shoulder Arms," "The Gold Rush," and "City Lights." 
A section called "Chapliniana" summarizes the various guest appearances Chaplin 
made, and tells about the strange mutations which some of his film footage underwent.
