The Great Dictator Clippings 236/369

Dixie Willson, Photoplay, New York, December 1940

„His quick and frequent laughter is delightful“

Editorial content. „Chaplin Talks

      ...with an accent still a bit ,London,‘ with an unpretentious

      honesty... on a subject that is one of the most important in the

      film world of today

      By Dixie Willson“ (...)

      „The voice about which the world has been so curious,

is an unusually pleasant one. Mr. Chaplin‘s manner of speaking,

still a bit ,London.‘“ (...)

      „His friendliness, his lack of pretension, is immediately

evident. His quick and frequent laughter is delightful.“ (...)

      One photo, four drawings.

      „His skylight fall by the little barber in The Great Dictator

      was one of the high lights. This was how it was

      done: 1. He steps on a shingle 2. It‘s greased! 3.He aims

      at a skylight 4. A big crash finale. Chaplin used

      no double for filming this fall. The crash through the skylight

      was an actual 15-foot drop.“
