Description:As nervy as it is hilarious, this screwball masterpiece from Ernst Lubitsch (TROUBLE IN PARADISE) stars Jack Benny (THE JACK BENNY PROGRAM) and, in her final screen appearance, Carole Lombard (MY MAN GODFREY) as husband-and-wife thespians in Nazi-occupied Warsaw who become caught up in a dangerous spy plot. TO BE OR NOT TO BE is a Hollywood film of the boldest black humor, which went into production soon after the U.S. entered World War II. Lubitsch manages to brilliantly balance political satire, romance, slapstick, and urgent wartime suspense in a comic high-wire act that has never been equaled.
"To Be or Not to Be" is a classic 1942 comedy directed by the legendary Ernst Lubitsch, now available in stunning Blu-Ray format from the renowned Criterion Collection. Set during World War II, this satirical masterpiece follows a troupe of Polish actors who become embroiled in espionage and resistance against Nazi occupiers. The film stars Jack Benny as Joseph Tura, Carole Lombard as Maria Tura?her final screen performance?and features Robert Stack among its talented cast. Lubitsch?s signature wit and sophisticated storytelling shine throughout, making this one of cinema's most celebrated comedies. Criterion Collection is acclaimed for its meticulous restorations and insightful bonus materials that honor cinematic history. Their releases are prized by collectors and cinephiles alike for their quality and depth. Jack Benny was an iconic comedian known for "The Jack Benny Program," while Carole Lombard remains beloved for her roles in screwball comedies like "My Man Godfrey." Director Ernst Lubitsch was famed for films such as "Ninotchka" and his influential ?Lubitsch Touch,? blending humor with elegance. Supporting actor Robert Stack later gained fame on television?s "The Untouchables." Together, they create an unforgettable ensemble that brings this timeless satire to life.
