Chaplin would have reacted diffrentley to that. He'd go along with it. He'd do something to make everyone laugh. The real Charles Chaplin would never just sit down and forget about it

The real Charles Chaplin had many other things to get worried about as Kenneth ANger tells us in Hollywood Babylon...

This film probably contained less fiction, and certainly less malicious fiction, than Hollywood Babylon. What a lousy piece of garbage that book is.

He kinda did go along with it didn't he? He made a joke about it. Also your forgetting just how powerful a man like Hearst was, I don't think hes the type of man any intelligent person would want to mess with. Also this is just a film and one persons opinion. Truth is NONE of know what Chaplin would do in any situation in his private life.

But he paid the price for doing it.

Hearst only had Chaplin on the boat because Hearst suspected that Chaplin and Marion Davies were having an affair. He wanted to see how they interacted with each other. I'm sure that Chaplin was a little on edge with his being so in love with Davies, as well as having to hide this infatuation from his powerful host.
