When did Charlie Chaplin stop making movies?

Charlie Chaplin didn't *stop* making movies in the way we usually think of it. His career evolved over time, and he continued making films, though fewer and later in his life.

Here's a breakdown of his career timeline:

* Early career (1914-1923): He produced a large amount of short films, most notably his Little Tramp character.

* Feature films (1921-1952): He began making feature-length films, with huge success including *The Kid* (1921), *The Gold Rush* (1925), *City Lights* (1931), and *Modern Times* (1936).

* Transition to a "serious" style (1940s-1950s): He began to make more dramatic films like *The Great Dictator* (1940) and *Limelight* (1952).

* The end of his Hollywood career (1952): He was accused of being a communist and faced difficulties with the Hollywood blacklist. This forced him to leave the United States.

* Later films (1960s-1970s): He still continued to make films, including *A King in New York* (1957) and *A Countess from Hong Kong* (1967).

Therefore, while Chaplin's career as a filmmaker was certainly interrupted by the Hollywood Blacklist and his departure from the US, he didn't fully stop making films. He continued to create until his death in 1977.
