Reviews for A King in New York
The coming of talkie films has been unkind to the legendary silent film comic, Charlie Chaplin.
Taking a fire hose to HUAC is an impulse worth applauding, but the overall movie is so tone-deaf and tired that the method sinks the message.
Though constrained by budget and the unfamiliar methods of British studios, the film is nonetheless Chaplin's last great gift to the world.
