Scene from "Stealing Chaplin." Fair use. British director Paul Tanter’s droll Stealing Chaplin may be a comedy that will keep audiences laughing from beginning to end. Still, the other movie it reminds me of is screenwriter Kemp Powers’s One Night in Miami. Although the latter is a heavy-hitting drama, the fanciful stories of both Miami and Stealing are loosely inspired by real-life events. In the case of the former, following his 1964 championship bout with Sonny Liston, Muhammad Ali really did spend much of the rest of the evening with Malcolm X, Jim Brown, and Sam Cooke in a Miami ...
