THE CONSUL, THE TRAMP, & AMERICA’S SWEETHEART by John Morogiello. Directed by Michael Zemenick
On the eve of World War II, the German consul to Hollywood tries to stop production on Charlie Chaplin’s first talkie, The Great Dictator. The result is a comedy based on a true story about the powers of art, politics, commerce, and what it means to be American.
