A Countess from Hong Kong
A Countess from Hong Kong was both a first and a last for Charlie Chaplin; his first film in color and the last film he would ever make. Critics were famously unkind to this story about a beautiful Russian stowaway who camps out in a globe-trotting ambassador’s cabin. Marlon Brando is the diplomat tempted by the beauty hiding under his bed and Sophia Loren is the countess with designs on his marriage.

I thought it was okay.
Reactionary, yes, but I think Chaplin is way overrated.
