Film as a Vehicle

Rating: 9/10 (27 June 2001)

Premiering in 1940, Chaplin was considered crazy. Years later, when World War 2 would effect every American life, the once crazy Chaplin was then considered a genius. Pay close attention to both the Hitler and Mussolini characters in this film. Chaplin shows more patriotism in this film than any so called "communist" could. It's amazing how reviews of films change with time. One of Chaplin's best political comedies.
