Product Description

A fantastic cast star in this World War 11 comedy farce, featuring the antics of an eclectic mix of entertainers of an organisation that called itself Entertainment National Service Association. Known as ENSA for short, or, rather cruelly, Every Night Something Awful! Fresh from the music halls, they certainly give the camp the run around in more ways than one, and bumble their way to triumph!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, entertaining, enjoyable 11 April 2011
By Filmbuff TOP 1000 REVIEWER

Through an unfortunate decision by a junior officer, the quiet life of Major Poskett (Alfred Marks) in the desert, is thwarted by the perceived need for "entertainment". This arrives in the form of Bert Bennett (Sid James) and Gay Bennett (Dora Bryan) along with their band of "artistes". After their "debut" performance, they are commissioned to entertain troops across the battlezone and, of course, they end up in trouble! Thus ends Major Poskett's "quiet life" in the war!

With Miss Patch (Irene Handl) playing a most sorrowful tune in a brothel (something that is actually extremely clever), which has everyone in tears; Sid and Dora singing cockney songs - badly - and the other entertainers with a variety of different "acts", they manage to entertain the troops!! In the midst of this, Bert discovers the troops enjoy singing "Lilli Marlene" and he endeavours to find the composer. However, in the meantime, his own attempts at writing the lyrics are hardly to be called successful, but they are a witty addition to the story!

On their travels, they somehow (more through luck than anything elese) manage to find and thwart a Nazi team masquerading as British soldiers!

Completely farcical, highly entertaining and fun. It certainly isn't a "classic", but just for sheer entertainment, it is certainly worth a watch!

5.0 out of 5 stars They don't make them like this any more! 15 April 2013

I love these old films. As an Ealing Studio Film Buff I am always on the look out for opportunities to add to my collection - and Desert Mice didn't disappoint. If you want to know more, you'll have to buy yourself a copy!

5.0 out of 5 stars It's only black and white but it's a good one. 3 Jan 2013

I have this on VHS tape, so it was good to find it on DVD. It hasn't lost anything in the years since I last watched it. A real comedy - no swearing or bad language, Just good wholesome humour, just as a film should be.
