Our annual Hollywood Summer Nights Classic Film Series continues with a classic from the Great Charlie Chaplin-THE GREAT DICTATOR! Catch it on August 19th at 4:00 or 7pm! 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝗧𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘁𝘀: countytheater.org/specials𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗲: The first full blown talkie from the biggest star of the silent era – Charlie Chaplin. Made right before the United States entered WWII, Chaplin plays the dual role of a kind barber who is mistaken for a tyrannical dictator. Taking direct aim at fascism and the Nazi regime, Chaplin employs a potent blend of slapstick mixed with political satire. THE GREAT DICTATOR is a masterful piece of cinema from a trailblazer of the film industry, culminating in an impassioned speech that still rings true today.
