Cosa aspettarsi
Lubitsch makes performance itself the weapon. Repeated lines and entrances grow funnier while the danger around them becomes more exact, producing a rare balance of farce and wartime suspense.
Come avvicinarsi al film
Keep track of roles rather than uniforms. The troupe survives by deciding who must perform whom, and each repetition carries new information.

I am moved by the way theatrical vanity becomes courage without losing its ridiculous side. These performers save lives with the same instincts that once caused backstage quarrels.
