Review of A King in New York (1957) by Citizen P — 29 Oct 2008
With this film, Chaplin tends to hammer the viewer pretty heavily with anti-McCarthyism rhetoric, but since it was the infamous "red scare" that forced him into permanent exile from the United States five years earlier, I feel inclined to cut him some slack for the heavy-handed, preachy political statement that tends to subtract from this overall enjoyable comedy.
