My joint favourite of the Norman Wisdom series
5 November 2007
Warning: Spoilers
this film is great, i loved it so much, laughs, good story, it follows the life of simple man Norman Pitkin working as a road mender when he and his boss shall we say Mr Grimsdale are tricked to join the army during WWII!!!

During there time in the Army they are put in various training regimes (with hilarious results, standard for a Norman Wisdom film)

Then Pitkin and Mr Grimsdale are sent on a mission, but get on the wrong truck and are sent to France where the German leader (also played by Norman would you believe!) has kidnapped many innocent people and have them locked away securely!

After impersonation the German leader and freeing the prisoners, he breaks into the Germans House, by digging a hole under the wall, and covering with leaves to avoid any trouble, Norman gets captured (while his partners escape) and is put to gun point, lucking the German leader tells Norman to take two steps forward because his walls had just been whitewashed and just by luck, Norman falls through the hole he dug earlier and escapes.

For his bravery, Norman was offered the highest award available, becoming the mayor!

All in all i really enjoyed this film and recommend to it to anyone!
