Thursday December 5: The Great Dictator (1940)
Chaplin, in his first pure talkie, brings his sublime physicality to two roles: the cruel yet clownish “Tomainian” dictator and the kindly barber who is mistaken for him.
THE GREAT DICTATOR is an audacious amalgam of politics and slapstick that culminates in Chaplin’s famously impassioned speech.
Nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actor in a Leading Role, and Best Writing.
