CAI Movie Club - 7:00 PM on Tuesday, December 12, 2023: Discussion via Zoom of the movie “To Be or Not to Be,” starring Carole Lombard and Jack Benny. A troupe of actors in Nazi-occupied Warsaw used their abilities in disguise and acting to fool the occupying troops.

Using their skill for impersonation, Joseph and company must confuse the Nazis and stop Siletsky from handing over the list of actors. Watch on Amazon Prime or rent from the library.
