Rating: - Genghis Cohn
The minute that KNME, a PBS station, in Albuquerque, New Mexico aired this movie back in 1995, I knew I had to have it. I ordered my copy right then and there for $9.99 plus shipping.

Rating: - A Hauntingly Humorous Tale

The first scene of this movie tells you right away that this is no "docu-drama" about the Holocaust. If you enjoy dark or bleak humor, this is the film for you.

Rating: - Not your Schindler's List kind of picture.
This film makes its point with humor, which may seem bizarre when the topic is the Holocaust, but this picaresque tale of a former concentration camp commandant who is haunted by the ghost of a Jewish comedian is deftly scripted and directed, putting no foot wrong at any point. Add performances by Robert Lindsay and Antony Sher, neither of whom know any other way to act but brilliantly, and this becomes a very palatable moral tale. Throw in a supporting role by Diana Rigg, and surely by now you're asking ... Read More
