"Alexander Korda suggested to me in 1937 that both Hitler and the tramp had mustaches, and based on this similarity in appearance, they could create some misunderstandings and make a movie story about Hitler. He It was also suggested that I play two roles at the same time.… It took two full years to complete the story of this film, which I named The Great Dictator.… Halfway through the filming of The Great Dictator I was warned by United Films that the Hayes 17 office had sent a notice to the company that the film would be censored. The UK office was also said to be concerned that anti-Hitler films could not be shown in the UK. But , I made this film, I had to laugh at Hitler. If I had known about the horrors of the German concentration camps at that time, I would not have made this film, because I would not have had to deal with people suffering from massacres. Crazy Nazis kidding. The reason I was doing The Great Dictator was just against their "pure-blood" nonsense and wanted to laugh at them. I never imagined they would do something so outrageous Atrocities, I can't believe that atrocities like that happen outside of the savages in Australia! Maybe a movie like this will be released, and the shooting must be stopped. However, I have made up my mind that I must finish the movie, even if I rent the theater myself. … I received some inexplicable letters. After the film was finished, There are more of these letters. Nothing more than intimidation and threats, claiming that wherever this film is shown, they will throw stink bombs into theaters, shoot at screens, and do whatever they can to cause chaos.” — - "The Autobiography of Chaplin"
