Chaplin: His Life and Art is a 1985 book (revised second edition 2001) by film critic David Robinson which examines the life and works of Sir Charlie Chaplin. Along with Chaplin's 1964 book My Autobiography , it was used as source material for the 1992 film Chaplin . The idea for the book originated with Chaplin's long-time collaborator and producer Jerome Epstein. [1]
The British Film Institute described the book as Chaplin's "definitive biography ... impeccably researched, well written and full of detail." [2]
