The Search for Charlie Chaplin


Book Description

In the world of film collecting, the claim "find of the century" may sound an unpardonable exaggeration. But what discovery can equal it?1 Collectors had hailed the discovery of the occasional lost Keystone comedy in which Chaplin played, but nobody had the slightest idea that somewhere in England, somewhere in France, and somewhere in the United States lay three separate treasure troves of silent film which would, for the first time, reveal the working methods of the greatest single figure of the cinema. It was a treasure hunt involving innocence and guile, accident and coincidence. A treasure hunt which took us to Switzerland, France and the United States. The treasure, when it was uncovered, revealed information as precious as the film itself. From the material, we compiled a television series called Unknown Chaplin, three hour-long documentaries produced for Thames Television. Apart from the experience of making the series, we learned so much about Chaplin we could not squeeze into the commentary we decided to preserve it in the form of a book.

Charlie Hungloe's Greatest Challenge


Book Description

Have you ever had a hard time expressing your feelings and thoughts into words that truly convey your emotions, intentions, and love? Albert Einstein once said, "I very rarely think in words at all. A thought comes, and I may try to express in words afterward." Charlie Hungloe and Samantha "Sam" Sterling, who are two detectives that don't usually carry guns but instead use martial arts to fight and are the main characters in Charlie Hungloe's Greatest Challenge, have similar challenges. Charlie and Sam have at times had trouble expressing through their actions and with words what they really intend to say but rarely do. So why don't Charlie and Sam just say what they mean? Well, maybe they are! Growing relationships are built on more than just faith, trust, patience, physical needs, etc. Relationships often occur when different people are together with the same mind-set but different audio frequencies. When this happens, life can become chaotic, complex, frustrating, and often very, very comical! Like when Charlie gives Sam some instructions, and Sam follows the instructions but on a different thought frequency. Charlie Hungloe's Greatest Challenge is about a relationship that is sometimes set on two different frequencies. Charlie and Sam show us how to overcome the challenge. To overcome this challenge, you will read and feel Charlie's and Sam's heartbeating excitement, fears, love, and faith in each other. Also, how Charlie uses laughter and comedy to both hide and communicate his feelings for Sam. First Corinthians 13:1 says, "If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal." Angels do exist! And maybe, just maybe, sometimes they are sitting right beside you! Let's find out!
