Anyone who knows little about Chaplin or the silent movie era (including myself, being born in 1960) will find this documentary very educational.
Thank goodness someone had the foresight to interview people who knew and worked with Chaplin while they were still alive. Documentaries like this are a crucial part of film history and preservation. People who actually worked in the silent era know it better than anyone.
I highly recommend it to anyone.
