Charles Chaplin became
famous during the era
of silent cinema, when
he created the image of
the intellectualstroller Charlie, a
shy, thievish little
man who bravely opposed
the injustice. And even
when in 1927 people
began to make sound
films, Chaplin remained
faithful to his former
silent image for
another decade.

During his life he
performed 80 roles and
became famous
throughout the world as a
comedian, but he was
also a screenwriter,
director, producer and
even composer of his own
films. Such as "The Kid",
"A Wooman of Paris",
"The Gold Rush"
and others.

And only in 1940
Chaplin created a
completely sound
film "The Great
Dictator".
In 1952, Chaplin
went to London for
the premiere of his
movie "The Lights of
the Ramp", but he
was not allowed back
to the States. He
settled in
Switzerland where he
spent the last years
of his life.
