Thanks Clyde -- I've actually been recommending the movie to friends for a month or so now, especially the Adenoid Hynkel speech, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isLNLpxpndA. Uncannily timely, in my opinion. Also, world events aside, a fabulous lesson in comic timing.
Thank you, Len, for sharing that link, which I later wished I had included in the post. The message has never been more pertinent and yes -- the comic timing just astounds. It must have been a feat to get the balloon and rear end aligned for that 'bounce' near the end!

Loved it! Chaplin is wonderful!
Thanks
Thank you for the laugh! -- very dark laugh indeed!
I'd forgotten this, thanks!
