Limelight

Play trailer

Charles Chaplin / US, 1952 / 137 min.

Calvero is a variety artiest on the way out. When he prevents a young ballerina from committing suicide, hope seems to re-appear for both of them. Chaplin’s melancholy humorous look back on the life of a clown has autobiographical elements.
