Some guys balloon themselves over enemy lines in this crazy comedy. They become friends with a crazy old prisoner who has the plans for a tunnel-boring tank tattooed upon his back. To get him out, they dress him up as Hitler.

: I must be dislexic. ;)

: : That was a marvelous film!

: : I'm sure most gearheads could identify with the line Cary Grant gives: "I've just gone GAY all of a sudden!" :P

: : : Modern Times
: : : The Great Dictator (Anybody remember Chaplin?)
: : : My Man Godfrey
: : : Madam Satan (by Cecil B. DeMille) - it has a Zepplin in it!
: : : Little Caesar (The era of the gangster film has begun)
: : : The Public Enemy (Cagney, more gangsta stuff)
: : : And some adventure movies:
: : : Lost Horizon
: : : King Kong
: : : The Hunchback of Notre Dame
: : : The Mummy
: : : Tarzan
: : : Captain Blood
: : : Island of Lost Souls
: : : Mutiny on the Bounty
: : : China Seas

: : : Lots of escapist (and propganda too) stuff can be found among movies that deal with then current problems and issues. Just look at all those screwball comedies I didn't list.
