Charlie Chaplin

The final feature film to have Charlie Chaplin as writer, director, and star tells the story of a king who, due to a revolution in his country, finds himself in New York almost penniless.

Based on an idea by Orson Welles, Charlie Chaplin's Oscar-nominated crime comedy follows a bitter unemployed banker who finds a vicious new way to make money for his family—marrying widows and then murdering them.

A Russian countess stows away in the stateroom of a married U.S. diplomat bound for New York.

Charlie Chaplin's first full-length film, a winning combination of slapstick and drama. After the Tramp discovers a baby discarded in a trash can, he raises the boy as his son and partner in petty crime.
