Review of A King in New York (1957) by Andrew B — 05 Nov 2007

It was funny in parts. I think it will get better the more you watch it. Chaplin didnt do many speaking films and I feel those he did he seemed to use the speech to get over a strong message. Not as funny as his silent films.

As there are less really funny bits in it. I think instead Chaplin uses the film to make us laugh at society itself. The way we do things now a days using media coverage and things is funny. How something said on media can cause such a large effect on people.
