Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | To Be or Not to Be is a 1942 film produced by Alexander Korda's London Films company (though actually shot in America at the United Artists studios), directed by legendary director Ernst Lubitsch, and starring Jack Benny and Carole Lombard. Set in Poland during the early part of World War II, To Be or Not to Be follows the fortunes of a group of actors as they get drawn into the resistance. Before the war, actress Maria Tura (Carole Lombard), wife of that great, great Polish actor, Joseph Tura (Jack Benny), receives the attentions of Polish Air Force pilot Lieutenant Sobinski (Robert Stack). Wanting to meet with him when her husband is not around, she tells him to leave the theater and come backstage while her husband is performing the "to be or not to be" soliloquy from Hamlet. He does this a number of times, and she goes to meet him and see his bomber. The husband almost catches them together, but just then the announcement comes that war is declared. Some time later, Sobinski, operating with the Polish forces in exile, parachutes in to stop a dangerous spy who has information who could destroy the Polish underground. But the spy has already arrived, and Sobinski has to enlist the Turas and their entire acting troupe to help him. |
