Signed first edition
He has been called the single most
influential artist in the history of motion pictures; certainly no other
movie star enjoyed the international, iconographic
status he attained early in the silent era and maintained well past the
coming of sound. Certainly no other creative talent did as much as he to
elevate screen comedy to a high art. Perhaps most significant, though,
is the fact that he helped make the motion picture a medium of emotional
expression, taking it forever out of the category of a mere flickering
novelty. This fascinating autobiography is signed by the author
