Does Chaplin still inspire audiences?, 8 March 2002
Author: The Black Englishman from London, England

There are times in a role model's career when their work completely irritates their fans. None more so than 'Triple Trouble'. Despite Chaplin's contribution to silent Hollywood, some of his projects were absolutely disastrous. One can't help thinking that he had too much luck on his side.
