Charlie Chaplin writes, directs and stars in this comedy drama. Set in London, just before the start of the First World War, a former stage clown (Chaplin) rescues a young dancer (Claire Bloom) from suicide, helps her career and watches her rise to stardom, just as he is being forgotten. Buster Keaton co-stars as Chaplin's stage partner.
