It's quite a bomber

A black comedy mocking the Nazis. And just like Charlie Chaplin's The Great Dictator (1940), Ernst Lubitsch's To Be or Not to Be (1942) was completed while Adolf Hitler was still in power. Very sharp, intelligent and fearless satire. A masterpiece of sorts.

It's clobbering time

This is pure nonsense. Entertaining and well-made cartoon-like action, but there's no point in expecting anything great from this. Ove...
