  • ""A young dancer wants to know if the white-haired gentleman who saved her life is Calvero, the great music hall comedian. 'I was, ' the gent replies. Charles Chaplin's Limelight is a glimmering homage to what was, a proud look at a bygone entertainment era and a bittersweet tale of an artist passing the torch to a new generation. Chaplin portrays Calvero (the 'tramp comedian' per an old theatrical poster in his room), who rescues a distraught ballerina (Claire Bloom) from suicide and mentors her to success. Among the film's comedy highlights is a musical routine that's anything but routine in the hands of legend Chaplin and stone-faced Buster Keaton"--DVD sleeve."@en

  • "Londres, été 1914. Le célèbre clown Calvero, dont l'âge et l'alcool ont peu à peu brisé la carrière, sauve du suicide une jeune danseuse, Terry. Elle a été atteinte de rhumatismes qui menacent sa carrière et désespère de triompher de son mal. Terry reste alitée après sa tentative de suicide et pense avoir les deux jambes paralysées. Calvero s'emploie à lui prouver qu'il ne s'agit là que d'un blocage psychologique. Il réussit à lui redonner confiance en elle, retrouve le succès et meurt en plein triomphe."

  • "The story of a washed-up music hall clown who regains confidence while helping a suicidal ballerina. This was Chaplin's most personal film in turn nostalgic, melancholic and contemplative as he reflects on old age and the nature of art and comedy. There are only moments of humour (notably in tandem with Buster Keaton). Comedy is a tool for Chaplin's larger enterprise of soul-searching and summing up."@en
