Chaplin: the dictator and the tramp

"Chaplin: The Dictator and the Tramp is a collection of essays about Charles Chaplin (1889-1977) written by some of the world's leading authorities on Chaplin and early film comedy. The primary focus of the volume is Chaplin's 1940 film satire on Nazi Germany, The Great Dictator. This film has recently attracted intense interest during its wide international theatrical and DVD re-release. The Great Dictator is also the subject of a documentary, The Tramp and the Dictator, by historian and film-maker Kevin Brownlow, who serves as adviser to this publication, and has made available research material and interviews gathered in the course of the production."--BOOK JACKET
