PRAISE FOR THE MUSIC OF CHARLIE CHAPLIN

"Jim Lochner has written a biographical study of Charlie Chaplin that doesn’t duplicate anyone else’s work, to the best of my knowledge. … [His] extensive citations (and excerpts from the scores themselves) speak to the thoroughness of this endeavor, which is long overdue." —Leonard Maltin

"Jim Lochner’s The Music of Charlie Chaplin [is] a rare kind of film and music history book…rich in detail. … The way Lochner fleshes out the behind-the-scenes drama of Chaplin’s scores, his workaholism, and deficiencies (where they existed) can be riveting." —Tina Hassannia, The Atlantic

“The book represents that rarest of things, a new Chaplin monograph that actually fills a gap in Chaplin studies...offering a fine view of the entire arc of Chaplin’s musical career and loads of fun detail along the way, as well. The book is meticulously researched...the wealth of information is fresh and entertaining.” —John Fawell, Film International

“This new study by Jim Lochner takes a very fresh approach. ... We can rewatch each of the Chaplin classics with a fresh eye and ear, thanks to this insightful Lochner book.” —Paul Freeman, Pop Culture Classics
