Two WWII Comedy Propaganda Films on TCM Tonight

6 PM - The Devil With Hitler (1942)

If he wants to keep control of Hell, Satan has to get Hitler to perform a good deed.
Cast: Alan Mowbray, Bobby Watson, George E. Stone. Dir: Gordon Douglas.

7 PM - Nazty Nuisance (1943)

Hitler summons the Axis leaders to a secret island meeting with disastrous results.
Cast: Bobby Watson, Joe Devlin, Johnny Arthur. Dir: Glenn Tryon.


These should be awesome.  Gordon Douglas directed a bunch of the beloved Spanky/Alfalfa-era Little Rascals shorts from 1936-1938, and also directed the classic Laurel and Hardy film Saps at Sea.  Glen Tryon was a writer on Laurel and Hardy's best film Sons of the Desert.  Bobby Watson was Hollywood's "Go-to" guy for Hitler impersonations during the war years.  I expect hilarious slapstick of the Three Stooges sort,  mixed with terrible racist stereotypes which I will feel guilty for laughing at but will laugh anyway.
