Stay on your soapbox, im sick of Disneyland. I had the chance to thank kevin in person and tell him how much his projects have meant to me. He told some cool stories about interviewing the silent stars back in the 70s and how they were in shabby hollywood apartments. he has so much b roll is isnt funny but cant get any of it cleared for dvd. get the laser if you can.

Chaplin's last moment in city lights where she touches his hand and asks if its him tears me up every time i see it, and it did the same thing to einstein at the premiere.

Here's a fun site that tracks the shooting locations then and now for chaplin films and they even recreate them!
