Charlie Chaplin in Switzerland

Swiss filmmaker charts Chaplin's final years

Following his exile from the United States in 1952, comic actor Charlie Chaplin made his home in Switzerland, on the lake of Geneva. In his documentary “Charlie Chaplin: The Forgotten Years”, Swiss filmmakers Beat Hirt and Felice Zenoni use previously unreleased archive footage and intimate interviews with his friends and family to chart Chaplin’s time in Switzerland.
