There are countless humorous lines in the movie, and many "stalks" don't seem new now, but maybe this movie is the grandfather.
For example, the use of the technique of "echoing before and after". I happened to watch some of Li Dan's talk shows in the past few days, and I used it frequently. The same lines, repeated in different scenes, express different effects.
The line "If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die?" from Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice in the movie appears three times, especially the third Also added "And if you wrong us, do we not revenge?". Through the form of comedy, the Polish people's indomitable spirit of fighting fascism to the end is expressed. This line adds a sense of heaviness to the movie. It is humorous but not frivolous, expressing emotions rather than being ridiculous. This is a good comedy.
This film was made in 1942, when the brutal World War II was still in progress. When such a film was released at such a time, I don’t know what the mentality of the moviegoers should be at that time.
I accidentally saw someone say that this is the last work of the heroine Carlo Rumbai. After checking the information, I found that she unfortunately died in an air crash in the year when the movie was released. Then, I discovered the love story of Carlo Lumbé and Clark Gable. Although Gable is a prodigal son, he also has such a deep feeling in his heart that he cannot touch in his life, which is embarrassing. So I marked a few Gable movies by the way, and watched it another day when I had time.
By the way, I harvested a word ham, which is explained in the dictionary as an actor who performs with too much false emotion
