„Urged the comedian to satirize dictatorship“

Editorial content. „Korda Suggested Chaplin Film

      Charlie Chaplin recently revealed that it was Alexander

Korda who first suggested he should make a picture

on a dictator. Though later getting very enthusiastic about

the idea, it wasn‘t until Konrad Bercovici had

subsequently urged the comedian to satirize dictatorship

that he went to work on it.“ (...)

      „The Great Dictator, which will be released at the Capitol

Theatre, took two years to complete.“

       Capitol Theatre, 113 Swanston Street, Melbourne.
