CS #205 ME AND THE COLONEL-DANNY KAYE

In Nazi‑occupied France on the brink of collapse, resourceful Jewish refugee Samuel Jacobowsky (Danny Kaye) crosses paths with icy‑aristocratic Polish Colonel Prokoszny (Curd Jürgens), whose antisemitism is as sharp as his military bearing. With both men fleeing the ravaged streets of Paris, they form an uneasy alliance, forced into comedic and harrowing scenarios—from escaped chateaus to a German‑occupied estate. Along the way, they pick up the colonel’s fiancée Suzanne (Nicole Maurey), becoming an oddball trio navigating deception, danger, and reluctant friendship—with Verdi‑tinged humor and sharp irony in tow.
