10/10
Buckets of blood?

Warning: Spoilers
No, rather buckets of healthy giggles! Mr Norman Wisdom could shine in various flicks as "Pitkin". Be it spiced with a gangster topic, a war topic, a hospital one, etc. Here we have a classic with the war theme. Norman Pitkin was and still is a king of the genre. In "The Square Peg" he has a few hilarious scenes: passing the medical commission, the syringe matter, a rifle attack, singing with the opera madam, the mirror match vs. the Nazi general, and so on. Quite a lot to remember, actually.

Such comedies are fading away in today's hectic cybernetic world but to me they are the best of the best, because they remain childish and amusing in a very pleasant way.

To give it the highest mark would be very subjective, but here it goes anyway: 10 out of 10 - long live the king on the screen! Thanks for attention.
