In the aftermath of World War Two, Chaplin was criticized for being politically liberal and internationalist in outlook. He had never become a US , something that would be held against him as xenophobia set in when the postwar Red Scare took hold.

In the 1940s, he was the subject of a paternity suit, which he lost, despite blood tests that proved he was not the father. His sexuality became a convenient way for those who opposed his politics to condemn him. Ref permission to return to the US from a trip abroad, he settled in Switzerland, and made his last two films in London In Charlie Chaplin vs. America, bestselling author Scott Eyman explores the life and times of the movie genius who brought us such masterpieces as City Lights and Modern Times.
