While his demand for perfection could sometimes ruffle feathers, there was no question that Sir Charles Chaplin poured his heart and soul into the pantomime art that he deeply loved. The film's poignant final shot was one that he was particularly proud of, having put a great deal of work into it despite its deceptive simplicity. He felt "a beautiful sensation of not acting, of standing outside myself," he said. "The key was exactly right - slightly embarrassed, delighted about meeting her again - apologetic without getting emotional about it. He was watching and wondering without any effort. It's one of the purest inserts - I call them inserts, close-ups - that I've ever done."
