In the context of World War II, the theme of the film is obviously that the Allies and the people united against fascism. The foolish German army was fooled around by two French citizens with many problems, and was beaten indefinitely by the British army. There were only two The friendship and courage of a French man who sees true love in adversity runs through the whole film, forming a complete emotional line.
As a comedy film of that era, the biggest jokes came from the actors' lines and body movements. The couple dramas staged by the painter and the drama girl stunned the German army twice. Maybe the silly German army was deceived by the people and brought their own joy. Well, what kind of German commander would dig into the closet and wait for the conductor to come back, or because the conductor wanted to perform for the general, the conductor could get angry in front of the German commander, I think even in Europe, where music is highly valued But it couldn't be done during World War II. Of course, if you don't care about these details at all, it's still more humorous. Singing to find someone in the hammam, the British army entering the monastery, being taken away as wine, the German cross-eyed soldiers shooting down their own planes, these now seem to be nothing new, but they were what people needed most to liberate from the war at that time. A joke, it represented the advancement of cinema of that era. There are no deliberately funny scenes or techniques, some only have the acting skills of the actors in 1966 and some logical but untenable coincidence settings, but in that era, the audience was not so tricky. As a result, "Escape from a Tiger's Mouth" was definitely an excellent comedy at that time.
Today, whether you can laugh or not depends on the amount of film you read, but we can still see the just struggle against fascism in the world during World War II from the film. No matter how long it is, the feelings remain, and this is the reason why the film has been passed down.
Note: In short, watching foreign language dubbing is basically no joke, watching Chinese dubbing may be better.
