Intended as a tragicomedy, if not a tearjerker, it is a two-thirds bore that comes to life in the last half-hour or so, when the old-master clown stops trying to be pathetic and reverts to his inimitable proper stuff.

Some have also accused Limelight of being too sentimental, but we'd argue that's part of its charm.

This somewhat autobiographical piece goes heavy on the melodrama and employs humor in short bursts.

Rating: 3.5/4 --
What comes through most clearly in Limelight, however, is that Chaplin had come to terms with his life.

Chicago Sun-Times
Limelight is loaded with excellent song and dance numbers that remind us that life may be tough, but there is no reason to get mired in it.

With Limelight, for one last, brief moment, it's like old times even as the new age begins and Chaplin relinquishes his crown to the younger generations.

Film Inquiry
Departing from most forms of Hollywood stereotype, the film has a flavor all its own in the sincere quality of the story anent the onetime great vaudemime and his rescue of a femme ballet student.

Product Description:
Silet film legend Charlie Chaplin plays an aging music-hall comedian who befriends a young dancer (Claire Bloom) who has attempted suicide. Highlights include a famous Chaplin-Buster Keaton comedy skit as the two comedians portray faded stars seeking an audience in a changing world. This bittersweet film wasn't released in America until 1972.
