Review of To Be or Not to Be (1998) by David L — 19 Oct 2016
To Be or Not to Be struggles with its difficult tone at times and the editing is problematic, but the performances are excellent with Jack Benny being the standout here, the direction is strong and the film is a very different and unusual comedy as it mixes different types of humor from situational comedy to slapstick to satire to dark humor with the awkward, unpleasant situations being the funniest parts.
It could have been better, but it's still a very memorable, clever and funny Lubitsch film.
