5. I say "pretty much" because it was publicized to be about his sex life... |
|
but it was really about his politics.

7. HIs movies were also censored. It took me years to find that out. |
|
I had discovered silent movies and go to see quit a lot of them, but couldn't find any Charlie Chaplin ones until the 1980's I think. They are absolutely amazing.

9. I had no access to his movies. That's all I know. Never saw them on |
|
TV. Long before video stores. In fact, the only ones I remember in the 60's were James Bond and Pink Panther. The good ol'days.
