**This movie won an Oscar for "Best Original Score" in 1973 -- more than 20 years after its 1951 release. The early 50's were the years of the Hollywood Blacklist, and rightly or wrongly, Chaplin's name was on it -- an action whose fallout back then was immediate, significant and unforgiving. The movie got largely buried in the USA, in part because of that listing. While on a cruise to Europe, Chaplin found himself barred from re-entering the United States, and ultimately made a home in Sweden; he stayed in voluntary "exile" until returning to receive an honorary Oscar in 1972 -- and at his acceptance of the award, Chaplin received a five-minute standing ovation from the studio audience. The following year, now more than 20 years after it was made, the movie re-emerged and played for the first time in the Los Angeles area, thus making it eligible for Oscar consideration.
