The Nazi representative in Los Angeles was a man named George Gisling. And his job essentially was to strong-arm anybody that wanted to make an anti-Nazi picture by writing a threatening letter or two or three.

And he wrote a threatening letter to the head of the Motion Picture Association, a man named Joe Breen, inquiring us to Chaplin's plans to make this film about, clearly, manifestly about Hitler. and Breen reported back that he'd asked Chaplin about it, and Chaplin said, well, there's no script, there's no story, there's no nothing.

And if indeed Breen did call him about this, Chaplin was lying through his teeth, because three weeks later he started building sets to make the film. So he was going to go ahead and make the film Come Hell or High Water.

They were obsessed with the idea that Chaplin was Jewish. That's a very good question because at one point there was a book published in Germany by a Jewish consortium that included Chaplin in a roster of famous show business Jews. which was erroneous. He wasn't Jewish. But he never denied the erroneous charge because he felt it would give aid and comfort to anti-Semites.

And besides that, he liked Jews. So he just went along with it. So most people went along with him because he hadn't bothered to deny it.

The thing about Chaplin is that he was going to do what he thought was the right thing to do. He didn't listen to committees. He didn't listen to friends who told him you're making a mistake. He had a very... monotheistic view of his own career. The audience had always followed him wherever he led.

They had followed him into feature motion pictures with The Kid and The Gold Rush when people said that they didn't think he could pull off a feature because the character wasn't strong enough. They had followed him into the 1930s when he insisted on making silent pictures after silent pictures were dead and buried.
