My mom not only knew Chaplin, she actually met the confectioner who made the boots they used (made of licorice) for this scene. Apparently they had a "bake-off" among some 25 local candy makers, and this guy got the contract. If you're interested, you can check out some of the results of her second (more successful) go-round in Hollywoodland at SuperLoopers.com. I have a more recent resume for her, but haven't uploaded it yet.

Excellent job capturing the look and feel of the movie!

I like your choice..setting is good as is the costuming and props..your facial expression is right on. Only downside would be that the shoe is too intact and hard to see. Gave you a (9)

This has me trying to figure out if this is a real person or a wax museum figure. Great b&w, and it fits the challenge well.
