Sunday, November 3
11:00
U.S., 1940
Directed by Charlie Chaplin
With Charlie Chaplin, Paulette Goddard
Approx. 125 min. DCP.
The Little Tramp becomes the Little Jewish Barber, breezily shaving a customer to Liszt’s “Hungarian Rhapsody,” while his doppelganger Adenoid Hynkel, “Der Phooey,” longingly dances with a globe; Jack Oakie’s Benzino Napolini steals scenes; and Ghetto spitfire Paulette Goddard tangles with stormtroopers.
Reviews
“It is a funny film, which we expect from Chaplin, and a brave one.”
– Roger Ebert
