Um Rei em Nova Iorque
12/09/1957
"Um Rei em Nova Iorque", produzido, escrito, realizado e interpretado por Charlie Chaplin, é uma dura e incisiva sátira à América e ao período que ficou conhecido como "caça às bruxas", de que ele próprio foi vítima. Rodado em 1957, teve apenas estreia oficial na América nos anos 70. O filme permanece um testemunho da determinação de Charlie Chaplin em expor os falhanços políticos de uma sociedade que o rejeitou. Chaplin interpreta o papel do rei Shahdov de Estrovia, exilado em Nova Iorque. Depois de um período bem-sucedido no país de exílio, a amizade do rei por Rupert McAbee (interpretado pelo filho Michael Chaplin), o filho de 10 anos de dois militantes detidos por se recusarem a embarcar na política de denúncias da Comissão das Actividades Anti-Americanas, leva-o a que seja denunciado como comunista.
