• The tramp was associated with the silent era and haplin resisted to make talking films until later in his career when he Chaplin made the tramp sing a nonesense song at the end of the movie.

The Tramp

"The Tramp" is a vagrant with the refined manners, clothes, and dignity of a gentleman. Charlie devised himself the costumes of the tramp.

"I had no idea what makeup to put on. I did not like my get-up as the press reporter [in Making a Living]. However on the way to the wardrobe I thought I would dress in baggy pants, big shoes, a cane and a derby hat. I wanted everything to be a contradiction: the pants baggy, the coat tight, the hat small and the shoes large. I was undecided whether to look old or young, but remembering Sennett had expected me to be a much older man, I added a small moustache, which I reasoned, would add age without hiding my expression. I had no idea of the character. But the moment I was dressed, the clothes and the makeup made me feel the person he was. I began to know him, and by the time I walked on stage he was fully born."

McCarthy era

Chaplin was accused of "un-American activities" as a suspected communist during the McCarthy era and some FBI officials kept extensive secret files on him and tried to end his United States residency. In 1952, Chaplin left the US for what was intended as a brief trip home to the United Kingdom for the London premiere of Limelight. But Chaplin decided not to re-enter the United States. He wrote:

".....Since the end of the last world war, I have been the object of lies and propaganda by powerful reactionary groups who, by their influence and by the aid of America's yellow press, have created an unhealthy atmosphere in which liberal-minded individuals can be singled out and persecuted. Under these conditions I find it virtually impossible to continue my motion-picture work, and I have therefore given up my residence in the United States."

Chaplin settled in Switzerland but later in 1972 retuned triumphantly to the United States to recieve an Honorary Oscar.
