Chaplin's least funny film.

Premiering in 1952 when Chaplin was 63 years old, this melancholy reverie is a heartfelt expression of nostalgia for the Edwardian London music-halls of his youth, rich with deeply personal sentiment and warmly realized autobiographical fantasy.

Chaplin at his most melancholy. Not his best work, but the short time he and Keaton are on stage together is priceless.
