Wow, that's quite a knickknack to have around.

How often do you have to explain to visitors that it's Charlie Chaplin and not that other guy?

Never because it's in a box in the garage. I've never been a huge Chaplin fan like my dad was. He's much better when he's serious than when he's trying to be funny. The "look up, Hannah" speech at the end of The Great Dictator is definitely one of the great movie speeches and I highly recommend anyone here who hasn't seen the movie at least read it, but his "kick each other in the pants" style of comedy never appealed to me. I was much more into Keaton.
