"Even the GERMAN ARMY couldn't fight this..."
- Director: Ken Annakin
- Genre: Comedy, War, Foreign
- Studio: Independent Artists
- Subtitled | Black & White | Duration: 120 Mins
Overview:
The key to this winning comedy is a witty script by Jack Davies and Henry Blyth that cleverly lampoons many of the conventions and stereotypes of the prisoner-of-war picture, a staple of the British film industry for over a decade. The polished playing helps, mind you. Stanley Baxter gives one of his best film performances as a PoW posing as a high-ranking Nazi in a bid to free scientist James Robertson-Justice, while the deft comic support from Leslie Phillips, Eric Sykes and the deliciously deadpan Richard Wattis is of a very high order.
