“One of the most profound, emotionally complex comedies ever made”
—Chicago Reader

Directed with audacity and aplomb by Ernst Lubitsch, this 1942 black comedy stars Jack Benny and Carole Lombard (in her final role) as the stars of an acting troupe embroiled in a Polish soldier’s efforts to track down a German spy during the Nazi occupation of Poland. Wildly provocative at the time of its release, over time To Be or Not to Be has been lauded as one of the greatest satires in cinema history.
