In Reply to: RE: "Monsieur Verdoux:" genius, as only Chaplin can provide. posted by tinear on February 06, 2009 at 15:18:15
A brilliant work in every respect and maybe his most approachable film for modern audiences. Every film student should be required to study Chaplin's films, and those of Buster Keaton, before they are allowed near a camera. These guys were master storytellers. There were many brilliant film makers and actors during the silent era who have yet to be surpassed and Chaplin sits at the apex of that group.
Martha Raye is wonderful as one of Verdoux's wives - the uncouth American.

Chaplin wasn't the only great genius of the silent era and I don't believe I ever said he was. He sits at the apex but with plenty company.
Oh well, never mind.
Never mind.
Sorry I brought it up.
