Book Presentation:
From the author of the acclaimed Marx Brothers and Laurel and Hardy Encyclopedias, here is the ultimate A-Z guide to the cinema's greatest comedian. Featuring scores of entries and 250 photos and illustrations. This outstanding A-Z reference offers rare treasures for all Charlie Chaplin fans, from seldom-seen film footage to a wealth of previously unpublished anecdotes. As well as intriguing esoterica, the Encyclopedia presents a full account, with detailed credits, of all of Chaplin's films, from the earliest silents to ``The Great Dictator,'' ``Limelight,'' and other classics. There is also in-depth information on Chaplin's ``lost'' movies, newsreels, stage work, collaborators, and much, much more. Glenn Mitchell is an internationally recognized authority on early 20th-century cinema comedy. His Laurel and Hardy Encyclopedia was hailed by Choice as: ``Almost everything anyone could want to know...insightful, succinct....highly recommended''; in praise of his Marx Brothers Encyclopedia, Parade observed: ``Not many reference books make you laugh out loud, but [this book] does just that, page after page.'' 256 pp 7 x 10 250 b/w photos & illustrations
