A King in New York

A King in New York
Attica Film Company
12 September 1957
Comedy
DVD
C

I found the satiric jabs more interesting than funny, although I can imagine this was a bit shocking in its day, with the stuff about atomic power, rock & roll, and Hollywood movies.  (Including a trailer for a trans movie called Man or Woman?, which might owe something to Glen or Glenda?, but I can't be sure.)  I just watched the first quarter hour, but I didn't feel the need to follow the king on his further misadventures in New York.  Chaplin wrote, directed, and stars.
