Drama
Monsieur Verdoux è un impiegato di banca, che dopo trent'anni di servizio, viene bruscamente licenziato. Verdoux ha una giovane moglie inferma ed un bimbo, che adora: il pensiero della povertà, della rovina economica, il pensiero che questi esseri cari possano essere esposti a insolite privazioni gli riesce insopportabile. Che fare? Col pretesto degli affari si mette a girare la Francia: il suo aspetto elegante, i suoi modi insinuanti gli attirano la simpatia delle donne. Egli riesce ad avvicinare delle vedove danarose, le sposa e le sopprime, dopo essersi impadronito dei loro denari. Malgrado i sospetti destati dalla misteriosa sparizione delle sue vittime, Verdoux riesce a farla franca, continuando per anni nella sua criminosa attività. Ma quando la morte gli rapisce la moglie e il figlio, Verdoux perde ogni interesse alla vita, e finisce per consegnarsi volontariamente alla polizia. Condannato a morte, osserva soltanto che di fronte agli enormi massacri di uomini, donne e fanciulli che le guerre moderne, determinate da interessi finanziari, sono destinate a fare, la sua attività uxoricida, determinata anch'essa da motivi finanziari, è stata una cosa modestissima.
In this dark comedy first released during WWII, Henri Vedoux, played by Charlie Chaplin, supports his family by first marrying, and then killing wealthy widows. On another level the film is an indictment of war in which mass murder is legalized and celebrated. "Killing is the enterprise by which your system prospers," Verdoux says. "As a mass killer, I am an amateur by comparison."

Monsieur Verdoux, a comedy of murders

Per salvare la famiglia dalla povertà, Verdoux, cassiere di banca licenziato ai tempi della Grande Depressione, sposa, deruba e uccide ricche vedove (Mereghetti).
"Verdoux, a mild-mannered family man of pre-war France, has hit upon a novel method of supporting his loved ones. He periodically heads out of town, assumes an alias, marries a foolish, wealthy woman, then murders her for the insurance money. He does this thirteen times with success, but wife number 14 proves impossible to kill, nor does she ever suspect what Verdoux has in mind for her. A subplot develops when Verdoux, planning to test a new poison, chooses streetwalker Marilyn Nash as his guinea pig. She tells him so sad a life story that Verdoux takes pity on her, gives her some money, and sends her on her way. Years later, the widowed and impoverished Verdoux meets Nash once more; now she is the mistress of a munitions magnate. This ironic twist sets the stage for the finale, when Verdoux, finally arrested for his crimes and on trial for his life, gently argues in his own defense that he is an amateur by comparison to those profiteers who build weapons for war. 'It's all business. One murder makes a villain. Millions, a hero. Numbers sanctify.' Sentenced to death, Verdoux remains calmly philosophical to the end. As the condemned man walks to the guillotine, a priest prays for God to have mercy on Verdoux's soul. 'Why not?' replies Verdoux jauntily. 'After all, it belongs to him'"--Hal Erickson, All movie guide, as viewed September 30, 2005.
A suave but cynical man supports his family by marrying and murdering rich women for their money, but the job has some occupational hazards.
A bank cashier marries and murders rich women to support his real wife.
M. Verdoux
Classic Chaplin comedy drama in which he plays a middle-aged man who murders rich wives in order to get at their money. (1947).
Esta tragicomedia está basada en una idea de Orson Welles (quien recibe en la película el respectivo crédito) y se aparta completamente de todo lo que Chaplin había hecho antes. Aqúi tenemos un aprentemente pacífico hombre de su casa, amante de las flores y de los animales, que tiene una doble vida como un asesino de ancianas ricas, para quedarse con su fortuna, algo así como lo que hacía el célebre Landrú. Cuando al final Verdoux cae en manos de la autoridad y es juzgado, Chaplin aprovecha para mandar un mensaje: los aseinos al por menor son a quienes castigan pro quienes desatan guerra y matan por millares jamás reciben castigo.

Monsieur Verdoux a comedy of murders
Videodiscos DVD
The actual case of Landru, the French 'Bluebeard', is the point of departure for black comedy and ironic social commentary in which a bank clerk makes a profession of marrying and murdering rich women for their wealth. Verdoux, a logical extension of the Tramp, is presented sympathetically as a man of gentle instincts. In this exploration of romantic obsession Verdoux sacrifices all - his honour, his sanity and finally his life - in his attempt to shelter his invalid wife and his child from the madness of a world dominated by depression ('murder is a logical extension of business') and war.
An enigmatic family man goes to extreme lengths to support his wife and child by murdering a series of wealthy widows.

Black comedy about a mild-mannered bank cashier who marries and murders rich women in order to support his invalid wife and son.
Deals with a middle-aged blue-beard, Henri Verdoux, played by Chaplin. The world was not ready for Chaplin's indictment of all war as murder. Since then "Monsieur Verdoux" has become one of the most popular of the Chaplin films, a genuine case of a movie ahead of its time.
