""Chaplin pulled few punches in this stinging satire of America during the McCarthy period. He made the film in London, in 1957, five years after being exiled from the U.S., and withheld its stateside release until 1975. Charlie stars as a European monarch who flees to New York one step ahead of revolutionaries. Here, he hopes to win support for his plans to scrap nuclear armaments and create a modern utopia. But he encounters a nation awash in ear-splitting music, moronic movies, insulting advertising and political intolerance"--Videocassette sleeve."@en

""Comedy king Charles Chaplin gives American pop culture and politics the royal treatment in the sharply satiric film that marked the legend's last starring role. Chaplin, working as usual on both sides of the camera, was in self-imposed exile from the United States when he launched this pie in the face at targets that include overhyped movies, overamped music, celebrity, facelifts, ad pitchmen and political witchhunts. Chaplin plays a deposed European monarch who comes to Manhattan and is soon made a media sensation by advertisers eager to cash in on his name. Charlie's son Michael Chaplin plays the firebrand youth who helps the king rediscover his ideals. The comedy sequences are imaginative and many. The satire is topical yet timeless. Today, as yesterday, Chaplin rules"--Container."

"Chaplin plays King Shahdov of Estrovia, on the lam when revolution grips his homeland. In New York, despite the occasional indignity, he's treated as royalty until he takes a stand against the commie-hunters, a plotline that hit way too close to home at the time."@en
"A king, fleeing a revolution, takes refuge in the U.S. In the land of liberty, he hopes to win support for the idealistic plans he was unable to put through at home: an end to nuclear armaments and the creation of a modern utopia. Instead he finds a nation nourishing itself on ear-splitting music, moronic movies, insulting advertising and political intolerance."@en
