Charlie Chaplin's One-Man Show

By Dan Kamin and Dan Kamin B.F.A.

Book Overview

This first paperback edition, with corrections and an updated bibliography, will appeal to a broad spectrum of film, theatre, and Chaplin fans.

Lois Rubin, writing in Classic Images about the hardcover edition, brought out many of the book's unique features: "Dan Kamin examines new facets of the Chaplin persona, not another retelling of the Chaplin story but an analysis of the comedian's body, his movements, his staging techniques. He explains not just the moods and results of Charlie's films but, as a fellow mime, describes the Chaplin techniques for mesmerizing the audiences through the magic of his own body. A large number of rarely seen photos gives added value to this excellent book."
