    I have a confession to make; I have a bit of a fascination with Charles Chaplin. I’ve read up on him, even watched Robert Downey Jr.’s ‘Chaplin (1992)’. And even now, the man is still a bit of enigma. Both on and off stage, the man is very warm and hilarious, but there is also always a hidden sadness in his eyes. Nevertheless, that just may be what makes The Tramp so riveting to watch.
