    Good but not great Lubitsch comedy or errors -- although there are great performances, notably by Benny and Lombard. Perhaps the lighter side of Nazism doesn't come through so well as it once did.

    "So they call me Concentration Camp Earhardt, huh? Hahahaha!"
    Such a great dark comedy about the Nazi Germans in Poland.

    Brilliant dark comedy -- daring in the day and still shines! Truly Jack Benny's shining movie moment! Supporting cast to die for!

    good black comedy on a serious theme. Jack Benny never better and Carole Lombard glows, seemly ethereal which is apt since she was killed in a plane crash before the film opened. The remake is good also but much lighter.

    Mr. Lubitsch strikes again. This film made me fall in love with Ms. Lombard--she and Jack Benny were absolutely made for each other in these roles. The humor of the film strikes me a little dark, especially compared with most comedies of the time, and admirably daring in its satirization of such topics. All in all, it's great little film.

    the dialogue is what shines in this inventive comedy, lombard, benny and stack have a rare chemistry between three stars which creates an even bigger screen presence, a good classic to watch

    This film is fantastic, Jack Benny is a master of comic timing, and Carole Lombard is one woman who can keep up with him. I recommend this film to anyone who hasn't seen it before. If you are a fan of comedy you definitely need to see this one.

    Most comedy films of today, I tend to really dislike, but this classic comedy made in 1942 was just magnificent! From beginning to end you are laughing! This film really has it all! There's comedy, romance, and even a bit of action. I love in this movie how that everything is important and goes well together. It just gets even better as the movie continues! The characters were also just wonderful! I even loved how the whole movie was filmed! A great entertaining film that has a very clever and cute ending that'll leave you smiling. I honestly think everyone should see this film and not only for the laughs, but for the great plot as well. All in all as you can tell I found this a very enjoyable film. Definitely two thumbs up! :)

    A simply amazing piece of filmmaking...funny, tragic, bold all at the same time. This was Carole Lombard's last film (she died in a plane crash 3 weeks before the film debuted), and is truly at her best here. She and Jack Benny star as Polish theatre performers caught in the Nazi invasion. SOOO good!

    I'm hoping everyone realises this is the Ernst Lubitsch film, not the Mel Brooks remake.
