Limelight (Two-Disc Special Edition)

Product Description A fading comedian and a suicidally despondent ballet dancer must look to each other to find meaning and hope in their lives. Additional Features A touching "Chaplin Today" documentary includes Bernardo Bertolucci's emotional reaction to the film ("I don't cry often, but here my tears flow"), and recollections from the Limelight's ingenue, the articulate Claire Bloom. Chaplin's soundtrack (awarded an Oscar in 1972) is presented complete, and there's an interesting deleted scene, Chaplin home movies, and photo and poster galleries. Seven minutes of an uncompleted 1919 short, The Professor, give an early glimpse at Chaplin's flea-trainer routine. --Robert Horton
