Review of To Be or Not to Be

I saw this film today on AMC and still laugh my head off at the antics of Mel Brooks and his wife in a remake of this 1942 film which starred Jack Benny and Carole Lombard. Brooks takes his funny equilibrium much further in this and his wife Ann Bancroft assists him in the antics of a ham theater production escaping from the cruel hands of the Nazis. Mel also sings and dances, but his greatest acting job comes from disquising himself as a German professor. They finally escape from the Nazis with the help of Robert Stack as a pilot. Charles Durning plays a German colonel and does a fantastic job of it; you get to hate him and laugh with him! I'd recommend this highly and entertaining! 7/10
