From the first film, Chaplin's true description of the people at the bottom of society attracted left-wing intellectuals, but at the same time it also aroused the vigilance of conservative American right-wingers.
The FBI began to record files about his activities and his assistants as early as the beginning of 1923. Edgar Hoover, who was the director of the FBI for a long time, regarded him as a special target and assigned special agents to follow him for many years, but found no evidence that Chaplin supported the American * * * production party.
McCarthyists accused him of his patriotic behavior during World War II, especially his support for the Soviet Union, an American ally at that time. Right-wing journalists were ordered to take action against him, and the FBI also manipulated the insane actress Jon Barry behind the scenes, accusing Chaplin of being the father of her child.
Right-wing organizations such as the American Veterans Association immediately engaged in activities to suppress Chaplin. The cinema showing Chaplin's films was blocked, and no one in Hollywood dared to have any contact with Chaplin and his family. The commission of inquiry into non-American activities considered allowing him to testify in court, but later gave up the idea.
1952 September 17, Chaplin, his wife Oona Oneill and their four children sailed for London on the Queen Elizabeth to attend the world premiere of "Stage Career" held in London. When the ship sailed at sea for two days, the US Attorney General announced that Chaplin's entry visa had been revoked because Chaplin was a foreigner (he retained British citizenship).
