   The full measure of the dismal failure of Limelight comes when we place it against its contemporaries. We have been told that Chaplin is a man of wide culture, but Limelight might be the work of the fabled young man who was afraid to read a book for fear it would spoil his originality.

   Is Limelight a tragicomedy?

   Is Limelight a good movie?

   • The cinema is apt to exhaust its great talents early, but Limelight has all the vitality and sureness of Chaplin’s best work, and it touches some new moments of experience. To examine it is rather like taking hold of a miracle; but one must try. “The evening of life brings with it its lamp.”

   How was Charlie's vision communicated in limelight?

   • In the time of Charlie this vision was communicated perhaps most perfectly in The Kid and in City Lights, films which Limelight resembles in dramatic construction, and in its account of the relationship – protective on one side, dependent on the other, then suddenly reversed – between two human beings.
