Review of The Great Dictator (1940) by Carla M — 18 Jun 2009
This grand production is a Chaplin great. The sets and costumes don't disappoint, and as cheesy as it sounds, this is one of those rarely seen classics that should be shown in theaters across the world today.
The end speech is powerful, and his choice to deliver it directly into the camera was so very effective.
It's packed with scenes of Charlie's usual warmth and humor, paired with those bearing a hefty message - this is a film all should see.
