Sein oder Nichtsein (1942)
Am Vorabend des Zweiten Weltkrieges muss sich auch die Warschauer Theaterwelt dem Naziregime beugen. Anstatt eines antinationalsozialistischen Stücks wird „Hamlet“ wieder auf den Spielplan gesetzt. Als die Deutschen in Polen einmarschieren, begeben sich die Schauspieler in den Widerstand. In den deutschen Uniformen des Bühnenfundus drehen sie die tollsten Dinger: Sie machen Nazispitzel unschädlich, führen die Gestapo in die Irre und treiben ihre Aktionen auf eine gefährliche Spitze ...
