Carole Lombard was the queen of 1930s screwball comedy, with an electric, unpredictable energy that made her one of the best-loved comic actresses of her era. My Man Godfrey has a scatterbrained socialite hiring a homeless man as her butler, Nothing Sacred turns a woman falsely thought to be dying into a media sensation, Mr. & Mrs. Smith discovers a marriage was never valid, and To Be or Not to Be sets Polish actors against Nazi occupiers. Twentieth Century and Hands Across the Table round out the list.
01 Carole Lombard features in this comedy about a troupe of Polish actors who use their theatrical skills to outwit occupying Nazis.
