The story of how Charlie Chaplin spent twenty of the last years of his life in self-imposed exile from the United States, where he had lived for nearly fifty years, because of relentless criticism during the 1950s Red Scare, which in Chaplin's case masqueraded as a moral crusade against Chaplin, who had a sorry reputation for liaisons with very young women. During these years in exile, he made his last, and by general agreement, worst films -- and then returned home to a triumphant reception.
