1940 · d. Charlie Chaplin
Starring Charlie Chaplin, Paulette Goddard, and Jack Oakie
In his first full-blown talkie, Charlie Chaplin plays dual roles as a humble Jewish barber mistaken for buffoonish dictator Adenoid Hynkel. Building toward a still-moving final monologue, this impassioned takedown of European fascism endures as one of cinema’s great satires.
This screening is presented in conjunction with a Cinema Classics Seminar taught by Paul Wright, Ph.D. Seating for screening-only attendees will begin at 7:00 pm. Just want to see the film? Purchase your tickets from this page.
