THE GREAT DICTATOR 1940 CHARLIE CHAPLIN
Sunday, March 12
4 pm
Saturday, March 18
6 pm
The U.S. was not yet in World War II when Chaplin leveled his comedy arsenal at Der Führer by playing the dual roles of Hitler-like Adenoid Hynkel and a Jewish barber who is a dead-ringer for der Nutsie. Puns, sight gags and slapstick abound as Chaplin skewers fascism, balancing his attack with poignant scenes of a ghetto in the clutches of storm-trooping terror. The Great Dictator was popular with audiences, becoming Chaplin’s most commercially successful film. Modern critics have also praised it as a historically significant film and an important work of satire; a “must-see” for everyone. The Great Dictator was nominated for five Academy Awards.
