Although the posters tell us at a MODERATE price Charles Chaplin has changed, it is heartening to note that this change is only in a few minor details, mostly involving his moustasche line. M. Verdoux is still the same Chaplin, the little man unable to make a living in the twentieth-century world. The greatness of this artist lies in his ability to make us all feel that, when we examine it, "the world is too much with us." I think it is in "Tom Jones" that Fielding states that the path of vktue does not mean a happy life. So in M, Verdoux Chaplin reveals that drudgery and unemployment are the only premiums offered by Industry • and decency. Murder, when or ganised as a business, does pay. His final note is brilliantly sounded. A man mvents' a weapon to kiU thous ands, and is knighted; he disposes of a mere dozen old females, and earns the scaffold. Throughout the film there are many of the touches one expects from such an artlst^the scene where he sets the table for two, realises that he has just dis posed of his wife, and calmly puts away the surplus crockery, his detached-spectator attitude as the police efficiently surround the cabaret to arrest him.
