Directed by Ernst Lubitsch
So many movie posts! Losing steam...
This is a very sad and funny movie to watch. Carole Lombard died shortly after she finished filming. She was such a great actress and had so much more to give! This movie is pretty gutsy since it mixes humor and Nazis in the midst of WWII. I don't think this is a case of "too soon"; it is actually quite enjoyable.
An acting troupe gets involved in an anti Nazi plot. It is pretty hilarious but also poignant and if I wasn't tired of writing posts I would dwell more on it.
RATING: ****-
Interesting Facts:
The line "what could happen in a plane?" was deleted after..you know.
Panned by critics since no one really felt like laughing after...you know.
Thanks for including this video! Really interesting.
ReplyDeleteI totally loved this movie and it is one I would happily go back to. It is funny, biting, relevant and clever. A good movie to remember Lombard for.
ReplyDeleteI love that you remind me about these old movies, even if it is sometimes embarrassing to look at old posts. I have to rewatch this soon.
