Charles Chaplin tapped into his life experience for this bittersweet tale, playing Calvero, an aging, once-great vaudevillian who finds renewed purpose when he offers shelter to suicidal young dancer Thereza Embrose (Claire Bloom). The two discards gradually give one another the motivation to return to the stage, in this moving opus. Nigel Bruce, Norman Lloyd, and (in a memorable shared set-piece with Chaplin) Buster Keaton also star. 137 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono; documentary; featurettes; archival audio; deleted scene; bonus shorts "A Night in the Show" (1915), "The Professor" (1919); theatrical trailers.
