RECOMMENDED A year in the making Charlie Chaplin and his grandiose comic cajones are center stage in “The Great Dictator” (1940), his biggest hit and boldest satire. He plays two roles: a Jewish barber and the anti-Semitic dictator of his small country, Adenoid Hynkel. What filmmaker is making such pointed, yet poignant work today? They’re there, but they’re not the most popular comedians. With Henry Daniell, Reginald Gardiner, Paulette Goddard, Jack Oakie. 124m. This is a newly restored print, and part of a salute to distributor Kino International. (Ray Pride) SISKEL weeklong run
