To Be or Not To Be is a satire on Hitler and the Nazis.

Rating: 10/10 (10 February 2006)

To Be or Not To Be is revelatory insofar as Jack Benny's acting skills. He is consistently hilarious and it is amusing to see the beginnings of techniques, facial expressions and comic timing used to such great effect later in his career on television. The movie is laugh-out-loud funny, while still carrying some important social and political messages. While the film might have been thought tasteless at the time, it certainly is hilarious today.
I didn't understand the Hitler/cheese joke. Can anyone explain it to me? Or is it just supposed to be nonsensical, with no particular meaning attached? M
