Dig Paulette Goddard working that laundry basket like a true showgirl. #TheGreatDictator #TCMParty

That's Bernard Gorcey -- familiar to anyone who's seen a Bowery Boys movie. #TCMParty #TheGreatDictator

The banana sequence portrays Hinkel as entirely ridiculous. Have there been any dictators and would-be dictators in history who weren’t? #TheGreatDictator #TCMParty

Ernie Kovacs must have loved this scene. #TCMParty #TheGreatDictator

I love how even in his best satire about the world’s most serious subject, Charlie Chaplin isn’t above jokes about gas. #TheGreatDictator #TCMParry

I love Reginald Gardner.

The Great Dictator (1940) marked Charlie Chaplin’s first true speaking role, a film he wrote, directed, and financed himself, and its message still feels strikingly relevant today. Set in the fictional fascist state (...).
