An account of the 1978 stealing of the body of the late Charles Chaplin.

Stealing Charlie Chaplin (2017) Online

In 1978, three months after Comedy Icon, Charlie Chaplin's death, his body disappeared from it's grave in Corsier-Sur-Vevey, Switzerland. After being left initially with no clues, only outrageous and often ridiculous rumors, the robbers finally made contact with the family. What ensued was a tense, but often comedic game of cat and mouse.

I can not believe that this actually happened. Being a Charlie fan my whole life I was shocked to find out his body was actually stolen from his grave after his death (much like attempts on Lincoln and Elvis). This documentary attempts to tread the fine line of being fun, while serious, which it does nicely in the spirit of Chaplin whilst also delivering a fine biography on the first real film star. 4 stars.

Stealing Charlie Chaplin, is from what I can see, director Phil Boatswain's first full length documentary feature, and it is an assured and interesting one.

I am by no means a Chaplin aficionado, and while I know the iconic "Tramp" like just about every film lover I was not aware, and underestimated just how enormous a star Chaplin was when at his peak.

With that background, Boatswain expertly navigates what is undoubtedly a "truth is far stranger than fiction" tale of crime and mystery following the theft, and ransom of Chaplin's body after his death. The story takes a number of twists and is told through the eyes of a number of Chaplin experts as the story slowly unravels.

I won't say any more.....thoroughly interesting and entertaining. Highly recommend.

A fun, quirky, entertaining film.

Had some real laugh out loud moments watching this film at the absurdity of the encounter. A real tribute to the spirit of Charlie Chaplin; you could see how this could be a plot to one of his films! A fun watch!
