{"product_id":"the-charlie-chaplin-archives-9783836580724","title":"The Charlie Chaplin Archives","description":"\u003cp\u003eWithin a year of arriving in Hollywood in 1914, British-born Charlie Chaplin had become the slapstick king of America. By the end of his second year on the silver screen, Chaplin's fame had spread worldwide. He was the first international film star and rapidly one of the richest men in the world, with a million dollar contract, his own studio and his stock company of close collaborators. From Alaska to Zimbabwe, the bowler hat, cane, baggy trousers and outsized shoes of the Tramp became, and remains, an instantly recognizable silhouette.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith unrestricted access to the Chaplin archives, TASCHEN presents the ultimate book on the making of every one of his films. With 900 images, including stills, memos, storyboards and on-set photos, as well as interviews with Chaplin and his closest collaborators, it reveals the process behind the Chaplin genius, from the impromptu invention of early shots to the meticulous retakes and reworking of scenes and gags in his classic movies: The Kid (1921), The Gold Rush (1925), The Circus (1928), City Lights (1931), Modern Times (1936), and the provocative Hitler parody The Great Dictator (1940). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book includes: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Chaplin life history in words and pictures\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e900 images including many previously unseen stills, on-set photos, memos, documents, storyboards, posters, and designs, plus scripts and images for unmade films\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn oral history, told from the point of view of Chaplin himself, drawing upon his extensive writings, many of which have never been reprinted before.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSupplementary interviews with some of his closest collaborators.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaterial from over 150 books of press clippings in Chaplin's archives, which range from his early days in music halls to his death\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChaplin's short films, from Making a Living (1914) to The Pilgrim (1923), as well as all of his feature-length movies, from The Kid (1921) to A Countess from Hong Kong (1967)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eImages and documents from the Chaplin Archives, (c) and\/or Property of The Roy Export Company Ltd., scanned by Cineteca di Bologna\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Duncan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Taschen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/14\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 560\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 13.50h x 10.00w x 1.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783836580724\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eDuncan, Paul:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Paul Duncan is a film historian whose TASCHEN books include The James Bond Archives, The Charlie Chaplin Archives, The Godfather Family Album, Taxi Driver, Film Noir, and Horror Cinema, as well as publications on film directors, film genres, movie stars, and film posters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taschen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":39829577334899,"sku":"9783836580724","price":82.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_939db656-47b9-489a-80f3-8c83b4e80178.jpg?v=1644614545","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/the-charlie-chaplin-archives-9783836580724","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
