MONSIEUR VERDOUX
In this brilliant black comedy we see Charlie Chaplin as we've rarely seen him before. Chaplin plays Henri Verdoux, a loyal bank teller who is laid off after thirty years of exemplary service. To continue to support his beloved wife and child, he turns to crime. He marries and murders a series of wealthy widows.
He is eventually caught and convicted. But before being led to his death, he dismisses his killing of a few, as no worse than the killing of many in war, for which others are honored. This philosophical film was originally received far better in Europe than in America and has become something of a cult movie.
