What:
MONSIEUR VERDOUX BY CHARLES CHAPLIN

Chaplins most subversive film turns his normal universe upside down. The Little Tramp mutates into an honest bank clerk driven to homicide by the 1929 stock market crash. Condemned to death, he declares his crimes paltry compared with those of Western civilization: As a mass killer, Im an amateur by comparison." (1947, 124 min, 35mm)

A deeply fascinating statement by the greatest star the movies ever produced. New York Times
