1940 • Charlie Chaplin, Paulette Goddard, Jack Oakie, Billy Gilbert • Introduced by Film Archivist Stan Taffel • Nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Actor, this brilliant anti-war satire is anchored by Chaplin’s unforgettable parody of Adolf Hitler. The film was privately screened for Hitler himself (reportedly twice). Immediately after, it was banned in Germany. This is Chaplin's first film with dialogue, and he chooses his words carefully and beautifully during the speech at the conclusion of the film. A rarely screened treat!
