Mein erster Ernst Lubitsch ist ein Nachdenken über Kunst und die Nazis. Und sehr lustig.

A ★★★★ review of To Be or Not to Be (1942)

Das ist mein erster Lubitsch und ich bin schwer beeindruckt von der Dichte an nahezu ausnahmslos sitzenden Gags. Hier werden die Nazis und die kultische Elemente in deren Ideologie der Lächerlichkeit preisgegeben, mit Hochgenuss vorgeführt, deren Scheinheiligkeit und Kulturverachtung vorgeführt. Wer Kunst nur als Propagandawerkzeug wahrnimmt, sie damit also verachtet und dann wiederum durch die Kunst – hier in Form des Theaters – niedergestreckt wird, hat es nicht anders verdient. Der Stoff denkt hier über Vermögen und Unvermögen der Kunst nach und fragt sich, ob man die Nazis trotz ihrer Gräueltaten noch auslachen sollte (unbedingt!). Jedoch sollte das niemals das

I've got my dvd of "Beggars in Ermine" and playing it to check on its quality. A sort of #MutualAid society for steel workers with Lionel Atwill getting back at corrupt capitalists. Pretty good quality so far. Doing some work; but there's too much romantic music on #ClassicalKING . Later, the "Dirty Dozen" on TCM will do as background for online work.

House of Frankenstein (1944) is one of Universal's monster rally movies. A jumble of not very original ideas but well-executed, it looks good and has a great cast led by Boris Karloff, Lon Chaney Jr and Lionel Atwill. Fun despite its flaws.

Well, tonight it's going to be another 1930s intellectual property I know little about (apart from that it stars Lionel Atwill and Charlie Ruggles, has a borderline "semi-horror" feel, and clocks in at a brisk 61 minutes). Safe to assume that Atwill plays the heavy and a gorilla costume will appear in the final reel. #1930s #CharlieRuggles #LionelAtwill #Movies #OldMovies

Oh my gosh the wax museum is open!!!!
What about all those heroines trapped, having fallen into the clutches of some “madman” who has taken up resident at the local wax museum. If that's scaring up an interest, then follow me through that back entrance.
