Still socially relevant and extraordinary in it's delivery of slapstick as well as it's well aimed shot at American industries it remains a comedy above just a politically motivated film. The symbolism and literal portrayal of the machine or modern world and it's effect on the working man and destruction of the individual still remain important and timeless in today's era.

The first and one of two Chaplin films so far released to blu-ray, Criterion have brilliantly restored the film and hopefully will win Chaplin even more generations of fans! The film currently stands at #78 on AFI's Top 100 Films of All Time list.
