Directed by Charlie Chaplin | 1947
With Charlie Chaplin, Martha Raye, Marilyn Nash
“A film of serene elegance and sharp teeth.”
—Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
Charlie Chaplin shocked audiences when he shed his Little Tramp persona to play a cold-blooded French Bluebeard who supports his family by marrying rich widows and bumping them off. The premise of this deliciously dark comedy was found to be so cynical it incited major backlash against the director and star. Seventy years later, Verdoux’s sardonic humor and provocative indictment of societal hypocrisy seem strikingly modern.
