What was the old black and white movie where a man rode on bomb trailer another put in corner of castle brick wall built to close him in?

"The Great Dictator" (1940)

The scene you are referring to is from the iconic 1940 film "The Great Dictator," written, produced, and starring Charlie Chaplin. In the movie, Chaplin plays the dual role of Adenoid Hynkel, the dictator of Tomania, and a Jewish barber.

In the scene you mentioned, Hynkel finds himself trapped in a courtyard surrounded by a high castle brick wall. To escape, he uses a bomb trailer as an impromptu roller skate and rides it through a narrow opening in the wall, narrowly avoiding being crushed.

"The Great Dictator" is a satirical comedy film that criticizes the rise of fascism and the excesses of dictators like Adolf Hitler. It is considered one of Chaplin's greatest works and is remembered for its powerful anti-war messages and memorable performances.
