7. Exile to Switzerland
Scott Eyman
Charlie Chaplin versus America: When Art, Sex, and Politics Collided
In September 1952, Attorney General James McGranery revoked Chaplin's U.S. re-entry permit while Chaplin was sailing to London. Having committed no crime, Chaplin was enraged and chose not to return, relying on his wife, Una, and brother, Sydney, to liquidate his assets. He settled in Switzerland to reduce the political pressure. However, losing his comfortable, self-owned Los Angeles studio and the stimulating environment of America contributed to a creative decline, resulting in semi-retirement.
