Witty comedy at its best

Rating: Null/10 (11 January 1999)

This is a very, very funny movie! It cleverly succeeds in poking fun at the Third Reich and its leaders, without minimising their horrors (like Casablanca). All the key actors are brilliant comedians in their own way, especially Lombard who is without equal (except, perhaps, Jean Arthur). The story whips along at a cracking pace - drama, action, humour and poignancy blend well together to make a great entertainment, including a witty script and some terrific running jokes. A movie you want to see over and over again.
