How to Make Movies features Charlie Chaplin rehearsing and preparing scenes in his own studio. He never completed the film, but Kevin Brownlow found a cutting order and edited it as Chaplin intended. Carl Davis's score emulates Chaplin's own style of composition – Comedy mixed with sentiment - much influenced by English music-hall tradition.
