Limelight

Tribute to Charlie Chaplin

Charles Chaplin made Limelight at the most troubled period of his adult career. In the late 1940s, America¹s Cold War paranoia reached its peak, and Chaplin, as a foreigner with liberal and humanist sympathies, was a prime target for political witch-hunters. It did not help that he had recently been cited in an unseemly paternity suit. Pilloried as he was by the right-wing press and reactionary institutions like the American Legion, it seemed that America had turned against the man it had once idolised.

Chaplin spent more than two years writing Limelight His method was remarkable, and unique in his work. As a preliminary, he wrote the story in the form of a full-length novel – some 100,000 words long and entitled “Footlights”. The novel – never published or apparently even intended for publication – relates the story as it appears in the finished film, but in addition includes two separate biographies of Calvero and Terry, detailing their lives before the action of the film proper begins.

Very good light, superb details, Nur! VEry well done
One simple suggestion would be to crop off most of what is behind her head. It would look much better if there was half as much space behind her as there is in front of her
