A bold move when it premiered, it became Chaplin’s biggest box office success, earning five Academy Award nominations and acclaim that endures to this day—including a 92% Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. At once a satire and a plea for our shared humanity, the film invites us to laugh, reflect, and witness Chaplin’s first-ever speaking role, culminating in one of cinema’s most powerful calls for unity. Grand Performances is honored to screen this timeless classic under the stars, followed by a thoughtful panel discussion.
