Aro Recommended A King in New York

 

USA 1957, 100 minutes
Dir. Charles Chaplin
Rating: [G]
Genres: Classics, Comedy

Topics: Satire.

Feat. Charles Chaplin, Maxine Audley, Dawn Addams

 

Aroview: Mild satire, in which Chaplin plays the leader of 'Estrovia' whose visit to NYC is beset by witchhunts, noise, and 1950s conservatism.

Has often been seen as Chaplin's poison letter to America, made after his self-exile in the 1940s, and despite some fairly obvious humour has a few interesting touches, including an appearance by the dir.'s son.
