What comes through most clearly in Limelight, however, is that Chaplin had come to terms with his life.

Chicago Sun-Times
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
Charles Chaplin's 1952 film is overlong, visually flat, episodically constructed, and a masterpiece.

Chicago Reader
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.

3 stars out of 5 -- [A]s the culmination of a career, it's fascinating: a nakedly confessional glimpse into Charlie's troubled soul.

Rating: 3/4 --
It was Chaplin's last great film, and it showcases not just a love for the performing arts (she's a ballerina, he's a vaudevillian), but also Chaplin's effortless sentimentality.

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.

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.
