Monsieur Verdoux

"Despair is a narcotic. It lulls the mind into indifference."

"Wars, conflict - it's all business. One murder makes a villain; millions, a hero. Numbers sanctify, my good fellow!"

"[to the court, after being found guilty of murder] I shall see you ALL soon - very soon."

"Business is a ruthless business, my dear."

"Nothing is permanent in this wicked world, not even our troubles."

"It's a blundering world and a very sad one, yet kindness can make it beautiful."

"A Comedy of Murders."

"A comedy of murders. The story of a modern French Bluebeard!"

"New hat. new coat, new pants, new shoes, new laughs, but the same great Charles Chaplin!"

"Hysterical laughter! Haunting romance! Shocking drama!"

"Chaplin's Bluebeard Comedy is a Killer!"
