This episode, Doug and Jerry celebrate Valentine’s Day and a birthday with Ernst Lubitsch’s To Be or Not to Be from 1942. It’s a brilliant, multi-layered romantic comedy that skewers Nazis and brilliantly showcases stars Carol Lombard (in her final film role) and Jack Benny (whose birthday is February 14th). It’s a true masterpiece but more than that, it’s extremely entertaining.
