TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The first film that Sir Charles Chaplin made in the UK after his exile from America, and his last leading role in a movie.

Shot for only 12 weeks, the shortest shooting schedule of all of Sir Charles Chaplin's films.

Before coming up with the idea for this film, Sir Charles Chaplin had thought of two ideas that he eventually decided against. One was the idea of reviving The Little Tramp (because he realized that the appeal to the tramp was his flexibility), and the other was reviving Verdoux from Monsieur Verdoux (1947) (his wife and assistant strongly argued against it.)

Not released in the United States until 1972.

Due to his inexperience and lack of confidence as an actor, Michael Chaplin frequently can be seen mouthing in sync with his scene partners' lines as well as tripping up on some lines.

Popular Dialogues

"[after being called for questioning by the government on suspicions of Communist affiliations] Rupert Macabee: I'm so sick and tired of people asking me if I'm this, if I'm that!"

"[after being told that the political turmoil in America is just a "passing phase."] King Shahdov: Quite so. In the meantime, I'll sit it out in Europe."
