Charlie Chaplin has a dual role in this film, his first with dialogue. He plays a sweet-natured Jewish barber and a murderous Hitler-type dictator with such satirical impact that it counterbalanced the oratory of Adolf Hitler. Particularly delectable comic scenes are Hynkel's balletic pas de deux with a globe, and a cream cake fight between Hynkel and Napoloni, the dictator of Bacteria.Additional Release Material:Chaplin: A Legacy of Laughter CollectionBonus Scene - SUNNYSIDE (1918) (Note: InspiredDictator's barber scene.)Newsreel Footage - MovieTone (1933) (Note: About Hitler)Additional Products: Program for the Premiere Notes, Drafts, and Records for the Final Speech(Jacket includes synopsis, chapter, and frame guide and biographies of Charles Chaplin and Paulette Goddard.)

Phillip Roth's biting satire of middle-class Jewish life is brought to the screen in Larry Peerce's poignant dramedy. Richard Benjamin (who later went on to star in another Roth adaptation, PORTNOY'S COMPLAINT) makes his film debut as Neil Klugman, a poor librarian from the Bronx who falls in love with Jewish American Princess Brenda Patimkin (Ali MacGraw, also making her film debut). The cross-class love affair displeases Brenda's well-to-do Westchester family and Neil soon finds himself plunged into a maelstrom of class snobbery and elitism that threatens to overwhelm the relationship.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseAnamorphic WidescreenAudio: Dolby Digital Mono - English Dolby Digital Mono - FrenchInteractive Features: Scene Access Interactive Menus
