Sharp List: The Charlie Chaplin Archives
Ever since he sprang onto the silver screen over a century ago, there have been enough books written about Charlie Chaplin to fill a dozen public libraries. But there’s never been one quite like this.
Three years in the making, The Charlie Chaplin Archives boasts unprecedented access to the film icon’s records and archives. The result is the most complete, in-depth and beautifully-designed look at Chaplin’s life and films ever produced, built around an oral history told from his own point of view and laden with hundreds of never-before-seen images, documents, storyboards and memos.
The cherry on top? The first 10,000 copies include an actual 12 frame film strip of 1931’s City Lights, taken directly from a 35mm print found in Chaplin’s archives.
