Title	Movie Still from "The Great Dictator", United Artists, 1940
Description	This still from United Artists 1940 classic "The Great Dictator" depicts Charlie Chaplin (the film's writer and director) in full Nazi-parody regalia as dictator Adenoid Hynkel, leader of the fictional Tomania. He is surrounded by a group of military officers and soldiers in uniforms very similar to those worn in Nazi Germany. In lieu of the swastika symbol, a patch with 2 x's adorns the uniforms and the flags of the regime. Chaplin later commented that if he had known the full extent of the atrocities committed by Nazis, he would have been unable to mock the regime as he did. 8 x 10 in.
