An adroit study by Chaplin of Facism long before Hollywood had the nerve to criticize Hitler and his followers directly. This was a very brave film to make in the US (before the US joined the war) and before many were willing to criticize Hitler openly. This is film as social conscience and a funny film, too! Chaplin shines in his dual roles as the Fuhrer and the Little Tramp. Dated, a bit preachy, but a film that needed to be made at the time it was made. Luckily for us, Chaplin was around to make it in his own brilliant style.
