CHARLIE CHAPLIN really did manage a truly subversive act of satire with his 1940 film ``The Great Dictator,'' even if the comic director later admitted that if he had understood the true extent of Adolf Hitler's atrocities, he never would have made the film. Kevin Brownlow and Michael Kloft's documentary ``The Tramp and the Dictator'' offers a glossy, breezy overview of the making of the film and never really tries to dig very deep.
