CHARLIE CHAPLIN VS. AMERICA by Scott Eyman received a starred review from Kirkus. They rave: “Eyman, author of biographies of Cary Grant, John Wayne, John Ford, and other major names in film history, presents a beautifully composed and unique look at how Chaplin was characterized as an immoral sexual deviant and Soviet-sympathizing subversive…While Eyman clearly admires Chaplin, he does not descend into idolatry. The author starkly portrays Chaplin's personal shortcomings and idiosyncrasies as well as his winning, losing, and recapturing of his audience…A brilliant must-read about the epic and turbulent life and times of a cinematic titan.” Simon & Schuster will publish the book on October 31, 2023.
