Summary:
"In his controversal masterpiece The
Great
Dictator
,
Charlie
Chaplin
offers both a cutting caricature of Adolf Hitler and a sly tweaking of his own comic persona.
Chaplin
, in his fure pure talkie, brings his sublime physicality to two roles: the cruel yet clownish 'Tomainian'
dictator
and the kindly Jewish barber who is mistaken for him. Featuring Jack Oakie and Paulette Goddard in stellar supporting turns, The
Great
Dictator
, boldly going after the fascist leader before the U.
S
.'s official entry into World War II, is an audacious amalgam of politics and slapstick that culminates in
Chaplin
's famously impassioned speech."--Container.
