      Audience Member Interesting WW2 comedy film with a little comedy and a lot of propaganda as British servicemen bring back some machinery from France before falling into enemy hands. For a little film it carried a very strong message. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
