write and produce and direct by charlie chaplin and this be the great actor anti nazi propaganda piece and skewer adolf hitler . chaplin play adenoid hynckel and the dictator of tomania and as well a a jewish barber who be hynckel spit image . his parody of hitler be brilliant . anyone who have ever see newsreel of hitler speaking will recognize the eerie resemblance of the caricature . i think the movie get off to a slow start with some typical chaplin slap stick focussing on the first world war adventure of the jewish barber . have never see it before i must confess that after the first 20 minute or so i be wonder what all the fuss be about . but the movie pick up steam quickly . there be some very funny moment and and enough emphasis on the anti jewish nature of hynckel ism to make the propaganda point . the climax of the film be a brilliant anti nazi speech give by chaplin at the end of the movie . as good a chaplin be in this movie and though and i think the whole thing be steal by jack oakie and play the dictator of bacteria benzino napaloni . our first look at oakie show how well he have study his subject he have mussolini arrogant posture down pat . the scene in which hynckel and napaloni negotiate over the fate of osterlich have me in stitch . this be a very good movie and and well worth watch .
