Saturday Chaplin: The Great Dictator

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

begins a season of classic comedies starring
Charlie Chaplin
This celebrated satire on injustice and dictators contains some of Chaplin's funniest and most inventive material. His parody of Hitler in the character of Adenoid Hynkel is both a masterly caricature and a scathingly accurate imitation of Hitler as orator.
People of the Palace
Written, produced and directed by CHARLES CHAPLIN
