Henri Verdoux is a man who lures wealthy women by promising them love and sweet happy-ever- afters. But once the wedding bells have chimed he murders them for their fortunes. As ever, this isn't just a simple, dark comedy. Whilst invoking the usual fits of laughter, Chaplin also encourages his audience to ask many questions, this time on the nature of evil.

Charlie Chaplin turns his traditionally sunny sensibilities inside out with this sublime black comedy about a family man who secretly uses murder to support his beloved invalid wife and child.
Charles Chaplin wrote and directed this Oscar-nominated black comedy, in which he plays a family man who supports his wife and child by courting rich widows and murdering them. Eventually he is caught and tried for mass murder. On its release the film found little favour with audiences, who were uneasy with its satirical, anti-war subtext. Later, in light of the popularity of films such as 'Dr Strangelove', Chaplin's film was re-assessed and is now considered to be one of his best.
