Showtime To Release ‘The Real Charlie Chaplin’ Documentary

The Real Charlie Chaplin

SHOWTIME will premiere the upcomingdocumentary The Real Charlie Chaplin,” a portrait of a man who became an immortal legend. The film will premiere Saturday, December 11, at 8 p.m. ET/PT. From directors Peter Middleton and James Spinney and narrated by Pearl Mackie, the feature-length documentary begins its theatrical run at Cinema Village (New York) and Laemmle Monica (Los Angeles) on Friday, November 19.

Having unprecedented access to the Chaplin archives, “THe Real Charlie Chaplin” blends dramatic reconstructions with never-before-heard recordings, intimate home movies, behind-the-scenes material, and newly restored classic films to reveal a side of the worldwide icon that – until now – has been shrouded in mystery. Tracing back a century ago – when Chaplin first stepped onto the screen – the film recounts his meteoric rise from the slums of Victorian London to the heights of Hollywood superstardom to his scandalous fall from grace. For decades, he was the most famous man in the world. But who was “The Real Charlie Chaplin?”
