Your welcome - The Great Dictator was also a movie Chaplin had to make on his own - paid for by his own pockets as he had fallen out with the great film makers over something.... And he ended up in switzerland after WW2 - under the "red scar" - when he was accused of beeing a communist - by his adopted country - something that made it imposible for him doing his work as a actor..

He had some socialistic sides to how he was thinking - but I doubt he was any communist for that matter - but it mattered a great for the ones who mattered - and after some years where he was more or less figthing all over the place - he left the country he had adopted as his own - and traveled back to UK, where he lived some years untill he ended up in Switzerland, where he lived for the rest of his natural life...


And youtube is a great resource for things you might not have heard about - but never seen before - I often end up in some interesting corners of youtube myself - and is learning a lot in the prosess..
