True. Absolutely true. And so he had them pulled from release in America.

Until 1964. Wow. So it was 12 years. Chaplin Films didn't play in America until 1964. And when they did, it was because he had written his memoir and it was coming out in about a year later. and they decided to see if the temperature had cooled. So they booked a season of Chaplin films in New York and it turned into the great event of 1964.

It played for nine, 10 months, all the films in repertory. And as it turned out, the memoir was a huge bestseller as well. So his enemies had died or gone to earth or simply a new generation had taken over and decided that Whatever had happened in 1939 and 1942 and 1945 had no relevance in the 60s.

The two films he made after he moved to Switzerland are grossly inferior to the films he'd made amongst all the tumult and controversy in Hollywood in the 30s, 40s, and even into limelight in 1952. Was Switzerland responsible or was age catching up with him? He wasn't that old. He was 63 when he got kicked out of the country.

And he was 68 when he made a King of New York and 78 when he made Counts from Hong Kong. So that's getting up there. But good films have been made by directors in their 60s and 70s.

So whether it was just a lessening of stimulus, a certain passivity in the environment that he found in Switzerland, all of his letters from this period, he talks about how restful it is and how serene it is and blah, blah, blah, blah. In one of Una's letters, she says quite the opposite, that he would get claustrophobic with all the snow.

And he'd talk about going to Marrakesh just to get to see the sun again. So I think it was a double-edged sword. I think on one end, Switzerland gave him the serenity that he probably needed after 15 years of enduring character assassination. On the other hand, it put him out of touch with what was going on in the world around him and what was going on in America.
