This black and white comedy absurdly suggests that a Nazi could work as an advisor to the President of the United States and a General would basically stage a coup to bring on a war.

No fan of copaganda?  Brother, do we have a movie for you! Meet the corrupt and very racist L.A. police force of the 1950s in this popular film from the late 90s. We know, racist cops? Impossible!

George was a sailor but definitely not a captain. Joe has never had grace. What does that have to do with the movie? Look up the English lyrics to La Bamba, sheesh!
