Santa Barbara: Santa Teresa Press, 2024. First Edition. Limited to 500 copies. Charles Chaplin was shamefully exiled from America in 1952 during the time of McCarthyism and fear of communism. In 1956, Chaplin wrote and directed in England the film comedy, A King In New York, that satirized America in the atomic age and blacklisting. He cast English actress Dawn Addams as his co-star. Just before the film’s release in 1957, film writer John Francis Lane sat down with Addams and conducted a very illuminating interview on what it was like to work with Chaplin. This volume reveals new information on the film. Additionally, this book presents some unpublished original writing by Charles Chaplin written during the picture’s production giving his thoughts and definitions of comedy and tragedy and is printed here for the first time. Illustrated with black and white photographs. Paperbound. 64 pages. 10 x 15 cm - 4 x 6 inches. New. “...a charming, pocket-sized book sure to attract any Chaplin completist. - Leonard Maltin."
