ABM Rating 3/ 3
Not a perfect movie. Many technical limitations. The slapstick is pure silent movie. This must have looked old fashioned even in 1940. The conceit of the main Chaplin character who returrns to his life after a long period of amnesia and becomes the only one failing to be subjugated by the Fascists is pretty damn clever.
