from Behind the Slate · host Behind the Slate
Chaplin goes to Hollywood where he learns the tricks of the trade from film comedy pioneer Mack Sennett. As World War I rages, he becomes the motion picture world's first superstar, and the highest paid person on the planet. As his popularity grows, Chaplin continues to experiment and transitions from bawdy slapstick to high-minded comedy, with a smile and a tear.Email us: [email protected]: @behindtheslatepodTikTok: @behindtheslatepodYouTube: @behindtheslatepodcastJoin our weekly film club: https://www.instagram.com/arroyofilmclubProducer: Greg KleinschmidtPhotography: Lola ScottSources:‘Chaplin His Life and Art’ by David Robinson'Chaplin: A Life’ by Stephen Weissman‘Charlie Chaplin and His Times’ by Kenneth S Lynn‘Tramp: The Life of Charlie Chaplin’ by Joyce Milton,‘Charlie Chaplin: A Brief Life’ by Peter Ackroyd‘Chaplin.
