Limelight tells the story of a fading music hall comedian's efforts to help a despondent ballet dancer learn both to walk and feel confident about life again. The highlight of this moving, Academy Award-winning film is the classic duet with Chaplin's only real artistic film comedy rival, Buster Keaton. (Artificial Eye)
