Abstract:
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, celebrated and paraded. "Killing is the enterprise by which your system prospers," Verdoux says. "As a mass killer, I am an amateur by comparison."

Hanri Verdoux işi gereği çok seyahat ediyordu. Onun işi zengin ve yalnız kadınları baştan çıkarıp, kalplerini ve banka cüzdanlarını ele geçirdikten sonra, yeni bir kadına geçmeden önce öldürmekti. Charles Chaplin, alışık olduğumuz o neşeli karakterin dışına çıkarak, sakat karısı ve çocuğuna daha iyi bir hayat sağlamak için cinayetler işleyen bir aile babası ile tersdüz oluyor. Burada ölümsüz Tramp karakteri oldukça az pay sahibi, fakat yine de titiz ve çıtkırıldım tavırları espritüel anlamda eksik olmuyor.
