1 The Great Dictator's music



The Great Dictator is a 1940 American comedy-drama film starring, written, produced, composed, and directed byCharlie Chaplin, following the tradition of many of his other films. Having been the only Hollywood filmmaker to continue to make silent films well into the period of sound films, this was Chaplin's first true talking picture as well as his most commercially successful film.[3]
At the time of its first release, the United States was still formally at peace with Nazi Germany. Chaplin's film advanced a stirring, controversial condemnation of Adolf HitlerBenito Mussolini's fascismantisemitism, and the Nazis, whom he excoriates in the film as "machine men, with machine minds and machine hearts".
Chaplin's film followed only a few months after Hollywood's first parody of Hitler, the short subject You Nazty Spy! by the Three Stooges,[4] although Chaplin had been planning it for years before. Hitler had been previously allegorically pilloried in the German film by Fritz LangThe Testament of Dr. Mabuse.



2 Modern Times (film)'s music


Modern Times is a 1936 comedy film written and directed by Charlie Chaplin in which his iconic Little Trampcharacter struggles to survive in the modern, industrialized world. The film is a comment on the desperate employment and fiscal conditions many people faced during the Great Depression, conditions created, in Chaplin's view, by the efficiencies of modern industrialization. The movie stars Chaplin, Paulette GoddardHenry Bergman,Stanley Sandford and Chester Conklin.
Modern Times was deemed "culturally significant" by the Library of Congress in 1989, and selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry. Fourteen years later, it was screened "out of competition" at the 2003 Cannes Film Festival.[1]






A Countess from Hong Kong


A Countess from Hong Kong is a 1967 British comedy film and the last film directed by Charlie Chaplin. It was one of two films Chaplin directed in which he did not play a major role (the other was 1923's A Woman of Paris), and his only color film. Chaplin's cameo marked his final screen appearance. The movie starred Marlon BrandoSophia LorenTippi Hedren, and Sydney Earle Chaplin, Chaplin's second son.
The story is based loosely on the life of a woman Chaplin met in France, named Moussia Sodskaya, or "Skaya"[2]as he calls her in his 1922 book, My Trip Abroad. She was a Russian singer and dancer that "was a stateless person marooned in France without a passport". [3] The idea, according to a press release written by Chaplin after the movie received a negative reception, was that the story "resulted from a visit I made to Shanghai in 1931 where I came across a number of titled aristocrats who had escaped the Russian Revolution". [4]
It was originally started as a film called Stowaway[5] in the 1930s, planned for Paulette Goddard, but production was never completed. This resulting film, created nearly 30 years after its inception, was a critical failure and grossed US$2,000,000 from a US$3,500,000 budget. However, it did prove to be extremely successful in Italy. In addition, the success of the music score was able to cover the budget.
Critics such as Tim Hunter and Andrew Sarris, as well as the poet John Betjeman, viewed the film as being among Chaplin's best works. Chaplin, although unhappy with the critical and audience reaction, by the end of his life considered it his greatest film.[citation needed]
The film's theme music, written by Chaplin, became the hit song This Is My Song for Petula Clark — a UK no. 1 and US no. 3.
