### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another Home Run
*by J***E on November 15, 2023*

As he's been doing for decades, Scott Eyman hits another home run with a biography that is both 1) a page-turner and 2) full of new information, no matter how much you might think you already know about the subject.In this case, the subject is Charlie Chaplin, and Eyman tells the story of an extraordinary life with special emphasis on America's shameful blacklisting of one of its greatest artists.As he should be, Eyman is sympathetic to Chaplin, and the emphasis on Chaplin's blacklisting makes for timely reading as we live through this latest "cancel" era where today's Hedda Hoppers on cable news and online discard artists like Woody Allen, Johnny Depp, and Kevin Spacey even after they're acquitted by the justice system. (Chaplin was “acquitted” by a blood test in a child custody case, and like those named above, it didn't matter).One of the reasons we're still fascinated with Chaplin is that he's so wonderfully unknowable. A brilliant intellect driven almost entirely by emotion. A fierce individualist who flirted with the hive-mind of socialism. In this engrossing book, and to Eyman's credit, neither he nor anyone he quotes, pretends to have figured Chaplin out.Eyman quotes something Chaplin once said about how people are quick to judge rather than understand one another. That's what Eyman wants -- for us to understand Chaplin, and this is as close as you'll come.Overall, though, like all of Eyman's books, this is a wonderful romp through classic Hollywood filled with the author's knowledgable insights that are never overbearing or judgmental.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Interesting history
*by J***O on January 25, 2024*

Should be a good read when I get around to it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Magnificent
*by J***K on October 11, 2024*

Scott Eyman is my favorite film historian, and he is in glorious form here. While this book offers ample detail about the political tornado that made Chaplin a US exile, this is actually a comprehensive and perceptive biography covering his entire life and career. As always, Eyman's prose is a joy to read, his research detailed and his passion for subject delightfully glowing throughout. One of the best books ever on Chaplin, hands down.
