Vignettes struggle to find humor in war. A “Metropolitan Opera Star” is greeted with applause by the enemy. A woman frets over the escalating cost of perfume. A young student finds it senseless to study “geography – It’s going to be changed anyhow!” A German man asks a French man “vat vould be a good Cherman name for Paris?” Two men suspect a dachshund of “German spying!”
