The Great Dictator

  (1940)
Charlie Chaplin plays dual roles in this prescient twist on the immortal prince-and-the-pauper tale: look-alikes Adenoid Hynkel -- Tomania's anti-Semitic ruler -- and an amnesiac Jewish barber. After 20 years in a hospital, the barber goes home, oblivious to the plight of Tomania's Jews. Soon Hynkel cracks down on them … but a case of mistaken identity gives the unassuming barber a chance to make an impassioned speech for a return to democracy.
