He also wrote a ...

Your husband's right to be livid over Milton's book.
Unfortunately, for many reasons, I don't find Robinson's book to be much better. It's as pedantic and boring as Milton...
I think anyone interested in Chaplin should have a look at the book. But I'd recommend stocking up on the salt. A 20-pound bag might almost do it. But I still stick to my suggestion to Tom Moran ...

I would like to see you prove that the three of us have criticized Milton's book 'for political reasons.' Like Jim, we have criticized it because it is a bad book...

I believe that this is the same version that CC Jr told in his book.
You are absolutely right! I rechecked the book and there it was! It lists the 1925 version. Now I can only wonder...where is The

I hope that's low on your list of disappointments. I thought the book was a piece of trash.
I am currently at work on a book about the Bob Hope films, so I was happy to hear this news.
Hmm, I dont off the top of my head, but I have a book callled Chaplin aand Agee, and I will look into that

Hmmmm! I wonder why they didn't credit HB???????
Virtually everybody reads that book, and many people never question its reliability. I see stuff from it coming up on the internet often
The author has read his/her _Hollywood Babylon_. And maybe dear Lita as well. As for that book, I wouldn't take much of it too literally. It is a ghostwritten potboiler, and its resemblance to pu...
