Description
From the middle of WW2, Arthur and Andrew take a look at a comedy poking fun at Nazi Germany: director Ernst Lubitsch's To Be or Not to Be. We discuss how difficult it is to laugh at dark subject matter and how successfully various films pull it off, including The Great Dictator and Jojo Rabbit. We also talk about the untimely death of Carole Lombard, the lead actress of this film.Where to watch To Be or Not to BeNYT Review of To Be or Not to BeWhere to watch Le Corbeau (1943)
