Quote by Tippi Hedren
Working with Chaplin was very amusing and strange. His films are so funny, but working with him, I found him to be a very serious man. Whereas the films of Hitchcock are macabre, he could be a very funny man to work with, always telling jokes and holding court. Of course, when I worked with Charlie he was getting older.
Summary
This quote expresses the contrast between the public personas of Charlie Chaplin and Alfred Hitchcock and their actual personalities off-screen. Despite Chaplin's reputation for making comedic movies, the speaker found him to be serious and perhaps more reserved. In contrast, Hitchcock, known for his darker and suspenseful films, had a lighter and humorous side that made working with him enjoyable. The mention of Chaplin getting older suggests that this interaction took place towards the end of his career.
