TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The costuming and sets were designed with as little color as possible to give the illusion of a black and white film. This was to make up for the fact that the film wasn't allowed to be filmed in black and white as originally planned.

Despite the fact that Charles Chaplin actually had bright blue eyes, Eddie Izzard wore dark contact lenses to keep with the public perception of Chaplin as dark featured. Most have only seen or remember him in black and white films, and assume he had dark eyes.

Joanna Lumley's bits of narration at the beginning and end of the film were recorded in a single take.

The soundtrack for this film includes several songs performed by Paul Whiteman, including Somebody Loves Me, Say it with Music, and Stumbling. In reality, Whiteman would go on to marry Margaret Livingston, who is portrayed in this film by Claudia Harrison.

While shooting the exteriors in Greece the crew were cursed with bad weather. It went from sunny to rainy and back again at the drop of a hat which caused major problems with continuity. The whole crew decided that it was the ghost of William Randolph Hearst who was at the bottom of it, unhappy that they were making such a film about him. On set, each time the weather changed for the worst someone would shout "That's Hearst!!".

Popular Dialogues

"Marion Davies: Nothing can happen this weekend. Charlie Chaplin: So what are you doing next weekend?"

"Thomas Ince: Anyhow, failure is a character builder, right Charlie? Charlie Chaplin: I don't know, Tom. You tell me."
