Though several of Chaplin's previous films had made use of music and sound effects and while Chaplin had sung briefly in "Modern Times" "The Great Dictator" marked the first time he spoke dialogue onscreen. 5 x 3 inches. Very Good with moderate soil overall and light rust around the safety pin. Criterion Collection 565. Union Label unknown
