A KING IN NEW YORK is an overlooked comedy gem. It isn't on the same level as THE GOLD RUSH or CITY LIGHTS, but it has many comic highlights (including the King trying to order a meal at a cafe, but unheard by the waiter due to a loud rock n' roll band.) Other highlights include the trip to the movie theatre, and the TV ad for the Wine. It has some touching moments too, such as the King helping a young boy whose parents are being questioned as Communists. This is a Chaplin masterpiece, despite its few flaws.
