...film-making has made Chaplin unfashionable with technique-conscious students. But the film-making in A Countess from Hong Kong is highly sophisticated; the editing has great direction and force, each cut timed to convey degrees of humor, and establish patterns and rhythms to which he can subtly refer in later scenes. Frequently he win cut back to a camera set-up used in a previous scene anticipating the recurrence of a running joke or device. Like John Ford, Chaplin juggles emotional quantities with great dexterity, mixing elements of laughter, romance, and suspense in single short scenes; much of this...

Because he had run wartime Germany's biggest military truck plant, U.S. occupation authorities restricted him to manual labor. The more pragmatic British tapped him to revive a Wolfsburg auto factory which had been so badly bombed that, Nordhoff was later to recall, it "didn't even smell good enough for the Russians."
