Review of The Great Dictator (1940) by Brad G — 17 Apr 2012
Had this on in the background while my friend Whitaker & I blathered on about the state of dorkdom and even though this film deserves our full attention it was still great to fade in & out of it's brutal comedy.
Am stating the obvious here, but it struck me on this viewing how much Mel Brooks' humor comes right outta Chaplin, Blazing Saddles & The Producers is born straight outta The Great Dictator. Funny as hell, but painfully biting.
