Double Feature: New 35 mm Print! THE PILGRIM & THE GREAT DICTATOR June 26, 2010

Double Feature: New 35 mm Print! THE PILGRIM, 1923, Janus Films, 59 min. Chaplin plays an escaped convict who, upon discovering a suit of clerical clothes, makes the uniform his disguise. A smart and funny critique of religious pretense.

New 35 mm Print! THE GREAT DICTATOR, 1940, Janus Films, 125 min. Director Charlie Chaplin trades in the lovable bumbling of the Tramp for the hilarious but not-so-lovable bumbling of a strangely familiar Fascist leader in this brilliant work brimming with physical comedy and scathing political critique. “A time capsule, a timeless document and a profound work of conscience…See it with a crowd.” — San-Francisco Chronicle
