This evening, PG Kino will screen Ernst Lubitsch's To Be or Not to Be (1942) as part of our series "Filming Fascism." With this screening we turn away from films made in Germany during the Third Reich and begin to look at other points of view on National Socialism.
Made in America by a German expatriate, To Be or Not to Be is a "black comedy about a Polish theater company -- led by Joseph and Maria Tura (Jack Benny and Carole Lombard) -- that turns to espionage after being shut down by the invading Nazis" (All Movie Guide).
I hope you will join us for the film, as well as an introduction by Comparative Literature student Paul Flaig, and a discussion.
Free & Open to the Public. Rockefeller 132, 7:30pm.
