1947 black and white "talky" written, directed, and starred by Charlie Chaplin.
Orson Wells came up with the idea, and Chaplin bought it off of him. It's based on a true story about a french guy during the depressing, who marries women who have money and then kills them. All the while being married to his original wife. He has several wifes all at the same time and he goes wife hopping until it's not going to work out anymore and then he kills them.
Great film. Tedious at times but funny. The ending is indescribably good. The dialogue is extremely smart.
It reminds me of Funny Games. There were several looks into the camera... like 30 looks into the camera through out the film. And it all comes back in the viewers lap in the end. Great movie.
The dialogue is extremely smart.
