Fun Stuff

Trivia:
Charles Chaplin's final acting appearance is in a cameo as an old steward. Since nearly all of the characters he portrayed in films prior to the 1940s were not identified by name, it is appropriate that his final character also be nameless. more
Goofs:
Continuity: Toward the end of the film Ogden, Natascha, Harvey and Martha sit around a restaurant table. Ogden and Natascha sit with their backs to the camera and very far from each other so they won't obscure Harvey and Martha at the other side of the table. When they get up to dance, the camera cuts to a close up of Ogden and Natascha which are suddenly almost touching shoulders. more

A great film from the beginning to the end, 21 May 2000

I think that the film is a natural consequence of Chaplin´s life maturity although it may have some old-fashioned elements. As for me, it´s a very well constructed film from the beginning to the end. The way the film starts and introduces the place is the proof that it is not one more film. The music is our guide that leads us through the film. During it, we can see how the wonderful Charlotte goes from one character to another, specially performed by Sophia Loren. As for me, the only faults are the sea and the beach shots. Even though, we go on leaded by this beautiful music to an end that appears as a natural result. The way it is filmed converts it in one of the best ends I have ever seen. It is a great film to end a genial film career.
