Fun to watch, particularly when they have a leisurely discussion about alerting someone that Ginger’s Nazi fiancé is overboard

I like the scene where Cary & Ginger 1st meet & then she later confronts him about his ruse is quite funny.

I think the montage with the huge clock with the swastika hand saying “Timetable of A. Hitler” the map of Europe in the background is very fascinating to watch from a historical perspective. It actually helped me for a history test when I was in school to remember the correct order of nations Nazi Germany invaded and occupied. And the scene where Ginger & Cary get mistaken for Jews and are almost sent to a concentration camp provides historical evidence that the Allied nations new about the Holocaust as early as 1942.

Definitely a fascinating and entertaining film about the war that deserves to be remembered alongside “To Be Or Not To Be” and “The Great Dictator”. It also in many ways foreshadows Grant’s later film “Notorious”.
