Downey did a great job, but the story of this movie...is Chaplin and the women around him. If the shop is too large, it is not easy to collect.

Infinitely approaching five stars. We don't need to talk more about Robert Downey Jr's performance. The filming of this film killed all his luck, so that such a talented actor wasted more than a decade of life. The only regret of the film is not that the actors are not good enough, but the old years lost after black and white translation into color.

Fred Karno: [on the train; remembering Charlie's early days in the theatre] You took a tail suit out of the wardrobe, tryin' to be a gent. Trying to impress that young dancer... Hetty, wasn't that 'er name?
Charlie Chaplin: Hetty Kelly.
Fred Karno: Yeah, I could see in your eyes you fancied her.
[chuckles to himself]
Fred Karno: Hmm. Sad.
Charlie Chaplin: Yes, I know all about it, Fred. She got married. Sent me a lovely note. I brought it with me; it's in my baggage.
Fred Karno: [looking worried] Oh, Charlie, Charlie. Charlie, don't you know? Has nobody told you? She's gone. The flu epidemic after the war carried her away.
[Charlie reels, unable to speak]
Fred Karno: I thought someone must have told you, must have written. Didn't nobody?
[Charlie leaves the compartment and goes into the corridor, leaning against the wall and trying to collect himself]
Stan Laurel: [following him and fixing his tie] What do we do, Charlie?
Charlie Chaplin: [sadly] Smile.
[they exit the train and are immediately swarmed by a crowd of fans]

Mack Sennett: Jesus!
Rollie Totheroh: You told him to change, right?
Mack Sennett: What is he putting on? A suit of armor?
