Unknown Chaplin

Synopsis: Documentary series written and produced by the awarding-winning factual team Kevin Brownlow and David Gill and narrated by actor James Mason. During the making of the Hollywood series, Lady Chaplin gave Brownlow & Gill the unique privilege of access to her private vaults. They discovered thousands of feet of film that had never been seen in public. UNKNOWN CHAPLIN is the direct result. This three-part programme gives an extraordinary insight into many aspects of Chaplin’s career: his early working methods, the making of famous films such as CITY LIGHTS and MODERN TIMES and the movies he made for fun. They include the first interviews with two of Chaplin’s most enigmatic leading ladies and rare footage of Chaplin himself. Winner of the 1983 Emmy for Outstanding Informational Series.
