Up until now I have been so disappointed in most films produced in the USA by the larger film organizations. They are just not what I consider excellent cinema although they are well acted etc. It isn't that I don't like super heroes. But at the end of the day I am only fascinated by the use of current technology and imagination. I do like watching the hunks, don't get me wrong. But I like movies that TEACH something. This is one of those movies.

The acting and camaraderie is wonderful. I have never seen movie made by these actors that has not been excellent. But when I started to watch this, I even forgot to feed my cats!!

I had to have my phone and Wikipedia right next to me because this film, although very humorous, also provided an interesting history lesson of the perhaps alleged plans to allow powerful people of the Nazi persuasion to infiltrate our government. And at the beginning of 1933 that was not much of a stretch. I looked up place and event referrals, some person referrals, etc and in this movie you have a history lesson for a lot that took place. Referred to Drug use, ,new drugs for pain and mental health, music, dancing and costuming, places, social norms of the wealthy, mansions, etc were all accurate (I use Wikipedia a lot and find it wonderful!). So if you want a history lesson of some events in the US in the early 1930's, have a go. Even the beginnings of plastic surgery after the horrors of WWI.

I need to emphasize from Wikipedia that such a plot was never proven to be executed. But the evidence suggests that such plotting did occur. Gosh, it would happen now.
