Product Description
A sparkling comedy drama set in a World War II British Army Searchlight Squad who are a rag-tag bunch of misfits who pull together in the country s hour of need under the direction of Lt Ogelby (Ian Carmichael). Although the cast is littered with comedians, the tone and setting of the movie is comic but moving in its portrayal of ordinary British men thrown together in extraordinary times.

Synopsis
A wartime comedy based around life in a British Army Searchlight Squad during the Second World War.

4.0 out of 5 stars I was very pleasantly surprised..., 12 Mar 2008
By Kerouac fan (Torquay, England, UK) - See all my reviews
Tommy Steele not singing, Benny Hill not joking (much) - but they and the rest of the cast put in engaging character study performances. I would think serving on the coastal defences was much like this in 1942. I found this a very pleasant trip down my father's memory lane. (Dad was on the Bofor guns.) Leather boots in the English countryside. Interesting story lines keep it running, some pathos, always lighthearted.

5.0 out of 5 stars A surprising delight, 17 April 2009
By W. Beckett (Kent, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I heard about this film from a friend. Never heard of it before, but I thought I'd give it a go... And what a mini delight. I found myself grinning and chuckling from the start with the snappy dialogue circling about the soldier's hut. Benny Hill was actually a fine actor - perhaps later stiffled by his TV shows. But there is also some nice touching moments inbetween the gentle humour. Ok, maybe it's not as finely honed and sleek to what it could've been. It's tight budget and the period it was made sometimes shows, but don't let it detract. What it does highlight is finely drawn characters we're allowed to get to know. And how often modern day films now miss this target with too many vapid visuals, bad language and unsettling and annoying fast edits... Some latter days of course might find it a bit slow. But at least it leaves an emotional resonance and memory. And how many of these fast paced popcorn films these days are actually cabable of doing that?
