| 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) as dictator Adenoid Hynkel, leader of the fictional Tomania. In this scene, Hynkel is apparently caught in the middle of a conversation between Jack Oakie as Benzini Napaloni (a caricature of Mussolini) and Henry Daniell as Garbitsch (Joseph Goebbels). 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. |
