To Be or Not to Be (1983) - Charles Durning as Col. Erhardt

Posing as the wily Nazi collaborator Professor Siletski, Frredrick Bronski (Mel Brooks) delivers perhaps his greatest performance by beguiling his bungling adversary, Colonel Erhardt (Charles Durning). Durning was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor in a Supporting Role playing Col. Erhardt.
