História

Ernst Lubitsch (Berlim, 28 de janeiro de 1892 — Hollywood, 30 de novembro de 1947), foi um actor e director de cinema alemão. Os seus filmes eram engenhosos e sofisticados, com uma maliciosa sexualidade. Em todos eles há o famoso "Toque Lubitsch". Há muitas definições do que seja de facto o Toque Lubitsch, mas a maioria delas foca o seu único, nada convencional e um pouco efémero jeito de fazer filmes. Seu primeiro trabalho no cinema surgiu em 1912 como actor. Sua reputação como grande director do cinema mundial atingiu o ponto mais alto após o lançamento de Madame DuBarry (1919) e Anna Boleyn (1920).

Story
Mel Brooks comprova que é realmente um tesouro magnífico com sua engenhosa e incrivelmente engraçada refilmagem do clássico de Ernst Lubitsch de 1942. Corretamente descrito como "mundialmente famoso na Polônia", o astro dos palcos Frederick Bronski (Brooks) apresenta Pérolas de Hamlet, enquanto sua sedutora esposa e companheira de palco (Anne Bancroft) diverte-se nos camarins com um jovem e encantador aviador (Tim Matheson). Mas tudo isso é interrompido quando a Trupe Teatral de Bronski é alistada para enganar os nazistas e salvar a resistência polonesa. Miraculosamente desafiados por seus duvidosos disfarces, imitações e números musicais estão um amoroso coronel da SS (o indicado ao Oscar®, Charles Durning) e seu terrível colaborador polonês (Jose Ferrer).
