The Great Dictator Set

& I want to be alone – The Great Dictator Scenes

& A Chaplin Production. (On November 25

it was 63 days in production.) Nothing is known of the

nature of the story and, despite Chaplin‘s old

fame, this picture‘s success will depend mostly on the

freshness of the comedy gags.

      „Two extras in Nazi uniforms, working on Charlie

Chaplin‘s film, The Dictators, walked across

a Hollywood street to get an ice cream soda. A puzzled

drunk walked by, leaned unbelievingly against

a lamp-post, but finally decided that he‘d better take

no chances. He raised his hand stiffly, tottered

on his heels, and said:

      ,Heil Hitler!‘“
