The last wild boar in Britain was killed three centuries ago. In France, however, these secretive and seldom-seen creatures still haunt the forests - woodlands that are a legacy, not only of huntsmen and landowners but of craftsmen - barrel-makers and charcoal-burners - who replanted the trees.
The boar is intelligent yet enigmatic, left over from a medieval world. It exploits the rich pageant of the forest, making a pig of itself, often at the expense of tiny farms hidden among the trees. Narrator Joss Ackland

Charlie Chaplin as iynkel, Dictator of romania and a lewish barber.
This celebrated satire in 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
Napoloni, Dictator of People of the Ghetto
