Clarksburg, WV: Union Label, 1940. Vintage flyer issued to promote showings of the 1940 film at the Ritz Theatre in Clarksburg, West Virginia. The flyer notes: "Just in case you laugh off all your buttons- / along with your troubles- / take this along when you see / 'The Great Dictator'" and includes a safety pin with a chain, ostensibly originally holding a spare button (now missing).
For his follow-up to his 1936 classic "Modern Times," Charlie Chaplin chose to do what only a handful of other films dared to do in 1940-make fun of Hitler. Though several of Chaplin's previous films had made use of music and sound effects, and while Chaplin had sung briefly in "Modern Times," "The Great Dictator" marked the first time he spoke dialogue onscreen.
5 x 3 inches. Very Good, with moderate soil overall and light rust around the safety pin.
Criterion Collection 565.
