Description

Billy Wilder kept a sign over his desk: “What would Lubitsch do?” In this brave satire, Ernst Lubitsch, Hollywood’s most urbane and elegant director, makes comedy out of the Nazi invasion of Poland. How? Write the script for laugh master Jack Benny, add the brilliant and beautiful Carole Lombard, and show how actors, regardless of how dangerous a situation gets, can always be relied upon to be vain, jealous, randy, and self-involved. #49 on the AFI funniest films list.
