Suki-Yaki Schickelgruber and Benito are falling into traps and mishaps again louder and funnier than those that laid them flat in "The Devil With Hitler"! It's a knock-'em-down and drag-'em-out comedy with block-busting laffs! Back in 1943, Americans needed a few laughs as World War 2 news was grim. This film mocked the enemy. The film pokes fun at all the WWII villains as actors play Hitler, Mussolini, Goebbels, Goering, Himmler with comic relish as the good guys triumph. 43 Minutes
