I met Scott Eyman several times and have most of his books. His books are well-written and very informative.

As a 71 year old admirer / fan / student of Chaplin, (I also met Charlie, Oona, Rachael Ford, (Chaplin long time Secretary), & Sydney Jr. when Chaplin returned to the USA get his Oscar in April of 1972), I must say I thoroughly enjoyed this interview! Mr. Eyman zero’s in on the Chaplin film, which was the discussion here, in a concise way which got to the point and should be most interesting to those wishing to learn more about Chaplin. Thank you so much for sharing this interview with all of us!!

My father brought me to see Chaplin the biopic in Dublin when it came out. I walk down out of this theatre after the movie, and within days I had bought his autobiography. I was hooked
I just read Scott’s book this past winter. Brilliant.
