Giant frescos representing English comic actor, film director and composer Charles Chaplin are displayed on the two 40-metre high Gilament towers yesterday in Vevey, Switzerland. The frescos include illustrations of two famous Chaplin movies Modern Times and The Gold Rush. The work by French painter Franck Bouroullec will be inaugurated tomorrow. Chaplin lived in Switzerland for 26 years and died in his sleep in Corsier-sur-Vevey on Christmas Day, 1977.
