FIGHTING THE NAZIS IN GORGEOUS CLOTHES!

I admire the old-time movie freedom fighters, especially Ingrid Bergman, who won World War II several times without ever breaking a sweat. In fact, as these scenes from CASABLANCA and NOTORIOUS show us, she saved civilization in diamond chandelier earrings,  romantic garden hats and a ruffly bolero.

 

We know that the Nazis will totally fail at world domination when Bergman symbolically rests her exquisitely manicured hand on the globe.

 

In NOTORIOUS, her fellow warrior is Cary Grant.

No reason you can't beat the Axis Powers in silk socks!

If you're Bogey, you can be sad, fight the Nazis, drink champagne and wear black tie all at the same time.

Well, maybe Sam won't ever play it again... but these thrillingly

invincible and glamorous combatants, plunging bravely through their hair-raising world-saving adventures,

will always make my heart glad. I stand, raise a glass and cheer.
