Directed by: Richard Attenborough
Starring: Robert Downey Jr., John Thaw, Geraldine Chaplin, Paul Rhys
Trivia: At the beginning, Robert Downey Jr, as Chaplin, sits down to take off his make-up. On the table is a picture of Geraldine Chaplin who is Chaplin's daughter, and later she plays his mother.
Trivia: Anthony Hopkins played George Hayden, Charlie Chaplin's biographer (throughout the film's many flashbacks). However, biographer George Hayden was a completely fictional character created only for this movie. In real life, Charlie Chaplin alone wrote his autobiography.
Continuity mistake: During the scene where Chaplin's brother is negotiating a deal for him, Chaplin and the secretary are having a conversation. During this conversation each of their tables has flowers on them. However, each time there is a close camera shot over their table the flower disappears and then reappears over and over.

Paulette: You know what?
Charlie Chaplin: Hum?
Paulette: I've always had that gift.
Paulette: After a man makes love to me, he just goes wild from happiness.
Charlie Chaplin: I am happy.
Paulette: Then tell me when you get sad, because I don't want to be around.
