    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The original cut was nearly four hours long. Over two hundred hours of footage was shot.
    • Goofs
      When Charlie is shown at the 1972 Oscars near the end of the movie, he is showed being brought to the podium in the wheelchair and then standing at the podium as the movie clips played. In the actual awards ceremony, Charlie walked out to the podium under his own power after the clips ended.
    • Quotes
      • German Diplomat: [offering his hand] Mr. Chaplin! I am a great admirer of yours.
      • Charlie Chaplin: I'm sorry, I prefer not to shake hands with Nazis.
      • German Diplomat: [laughs nervously] What have you got against us, Mr. Chaplin, hm?
      • Charlie Chaplin: What have you got against everybody else?
    • Crazy credits
      The film ends with the final scene of The Circus (1928): Charlie Chaplin walks off into the distance.
    • Alternate versions
      To receive a 12 certificate the original UK cinema version was cut to remove one use of 'fucking' (during Charlie's homecoming visit to a pub). Later releases were uncut and upgraded to a 15 rating.
