      Charlie Chaplins The Great Dictator (1940) came some 12 years after the introduction of sound, but it was Chaplins first all talking picture, and the first in which we heard the Little Tramp speak.The dialog turned out to be his last words; Chaplin never used the Tramp character again after this film.

      Its when he is playing the dictator that the comedians voice raises the value of the comedy content of the picture to great heights. ( Read More )
    • David Parkinson

      Though the slapstick may seem tired now. there are moments of greatness, notably Charlies graceful globe juggling routine and, for all its idealism, the final speech during which any sense of the barber, the dictator or the little tramp fades away, leaving only Chaplin himself speaking directly from the heart.

    • Michael Atkinson

      Like all major Chaplin works, Dictator was a cheaply, but methodically, made film, a cardboard act of humanist defiance, and, thanks to its purity of purpose, the cheesier the jokes get, the harder they land. ( Read More )
    • The representation of Hitler is vaudeville goonery all the way, but minus the acid wit and inventive energy that Groucho Marx managed. ( Read More )
