Pity he didn't agree to be directed by Welles in this. As C.C. I'm sure knew, it would have been a battle 'extraordinaire'. If one or other hadn't found it impossible and the movie completed then we might have been spared the struggle between Chaplin's silent movie idea of what makes a good story, (with the lovable villian), his archaic compulsion to use slapstick at every opportunity and the kernal or heart of the film gloriously seen here and there. c.f. 'Shadow of a Doubt.' Hitchcock.
Grew up watching old movies and remember seeing this one as a kid. Its been 15 years since I last saw this film and now at 31 years old, wow its even better than I can recall. Thanks so much for posting, this truly is an amazing film!
Thank you for posting this whole movie! :) It was very unpredictable, and I loved seeing Chaplin as a darker, colder character. The man really could play anything!
"One Murder makes a villain, Millions a Hero, Numbers scientify!" Oh Man what a dialogue. CC is a philosopher..What a movie of all times!

Chaplin's dialogue here is profound and the absolute truth. Those who have ears to hear, let them hear.. to quote another extraordinary person..
