There are some funny scenes in this satire on the 1950s' Communist witch hunts, but it is not one of Charlie Chaplin's best films. The king of a tiny country is overthrown, and he and his wife move to New York. There, though he has no money, he is a hit with the status seekers. Then he sees what the 1950s are all about in the U.S.: rock 'n roll and McCarthyism.
