"Drama / 9m, 1f / Int.A splendidly raffish gallery of rogues inhabit Newgate Prison in the London of 1725. Besides the conniving jailkeeper, there are his daughter, who favors the prisoners according to their money, a titled scoundrel, a poet, a whining condemned man, and a family prisoner dressed in exquisite lace. There is savage humor in their strategems, and the whole makes a shocking picture of historical justice. "A distinguished a ..."

"Die Dreigroschenoper : ein Stück mit Musik in einem Vorspiel und acht Bildern
Kurt Weill, David Drew, Bertolt Brecht, Stephen Hinton, Ira Gershwin, Joel Galand
, Edwin Justus Mayer, Georg Felix Kaiser, Gunther Diehl. Remarks: • This is
certainly not the only reprint of published Dreigroschenoper materials from the
late 1920s and early 1930s. It is notable, however, because of its uneven
recording of apparent emendations. The most st ..."
"Ebenso wie Roberto Benigni für seine Holocaust-Komödie Das Leben ist schön 1998 nicht nur Lob einheimste, wurde auch Ernst Lubitsch 1942 wegen seiner Kriegs-Groteske Sein oder Nichtsein kritisiert. Mitten im Krieg war es den Menschen nicht danach, über die Bedrohung durch die Deutschen zu lachen. Wie Chaplin mit Der große Diktator wurde auch Lubitschs Film erst nach dem Krieg als große Komödie entdeckt. Ein Film, der nie entstanden wäre ..."

The two stumble upon each other when they both plan to steal the same piece and join up when things do not go as well as they had planned. They escape on a Chinese boat heading toward Hong Kong with a suspicious captain whose money hungry ..."
"A Parisian dancer (Colbert) works her way into French high society by posing as a Hungarian countess. Asked by a wealthy noble to lure a gigolo away from his wife, she soon is given some nice rewards, all the while loved from afar by a cab driver who knows her true identity."
"Just as Roberto Benigni found himself on the receiving end of some finger-wagging for making a comedy set during the Holocaust, so the great Ernst Lubitsch caught some heat for this extraordinary 1942 satire set behind enemy lines during World War II. In his best performance on film, Jack Benny stars as Joseph Tura, the lead actor and head of a Polish theater troupe that is suddenly enlisted as a Resistance organization when an American ..."
