MONSIEUR VERDUX:
Directed by Charlie Chaplin

Here is an article about the 1947 Charlie Chaplin film, "Monsieur Verdux" and the monstrous beast Henri Landru -the French murderer on whom the story is loosely based. This article was written by Gordon Kahn, remembered chiefly in our own time as one of the blacklisted Hollywood screenwriters of the post-World War II period. Not too long after this article was written he went into self-exile in Mexico.
