Todd and Ken take a look at Ernst Lubitsch’s To Be or Not to Be. Should some topics be off limits for comedy? What line did even Lubitsch’s team fear went too far? Who is the film’s real villain? (Hint: it’s not the Nazis.) What films today make us similarly uneasy and what can we learn from films that disquiet us?
