Charlie Chaplin and His Women

Most avid moviegoers and film historians know all about Chaplins successes in such films as The Kid The Gold Rush City Lights and the Great Dictator as well as the pleasures he gave his audiences over the length of his magnificent career. But few know about the sadness that lurked behind his comic mask and his seeming inability to bring his personal relations with women and others to a level anywhere near his comic and professional genius. His shortcomings in his personal and social relationships and his attempts to overcome them is what this novel is all about.
