It feels a little wrong for my first real exposure to the biggest silent era movie star ever, Charlie Chaplin, to come in the form of this propaganda talkie. However with that said, Chaplin for the most part, was as funny as I had hoped. Although, the story serving as a framework for the anti-fascist satire, left a lot to be desired at points. In the end I found myself enjoying the low-brow anti-Nazi farces of the Three Stooges' "You Nazty Spy"(1940) or "I'll Never Heil Again"(1941) a tad more.

An amazing movie when you consider the timing of its making and release. For me the pacing felt wrong and many of the set pieces dragged.

The pacing is troubled, but the satire mixed with classic Chaplin slapstick is glorious. As the film draws to a close, the gaze into the camera feels like a final wave goodbye to silent film and all its simplicity.
