„Attain a place as one of the great films“

Editorial content. „,The Great Dictator‘

      (Chaplin – United Artists)

                                                   Charlot returns to screen

                                                   in brilliant topical comedy

      In his first production in nearly five years, one for which the

motion picture audience has been waiting expectantly

during the two years of its development, Charles Chaplin has

turned the light of his genius in comedy and satire

on the most provocative world situation in modern history.“ (...)

      „Chaplin prepared the screenplay and acted as his

own producer and director, while Karl Struss and Rollie Totheroh

contributed a splendid photographic job. Meredith Willson

prepared a musical score which in itself contributed greatly to the

finished film.“ (...)

      „Here is a motion picture long awaited, and although

the concluding sequence may carry an adverse weight,

it is a picture which without question will attract a tremendous

audience, attain a place as one of the great films.“ (...)

                                                 „Charles S. Aaronson“
