The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing To Be or Not to Be starting at 8 p.m. According to the Eastman House calendar, "Carole Lombard's final role proved to be one of her finest: as the grand dame of a Polish acting troupe who becomes embroiled in a love triangle involving her ham husband (a riotous Jack Benny) and a handsome anti-Nazi aviator (Robert Stack), she displays all the wit and sexiness that defined her career. Decried as tasteless upon release for daring to find humor in war, subterfuge, and the Nazi threat, Lubitsch's blackly comic film is also one of his funniest and most complex."
