Ray Milland's charm vs. British military bureaucracy in this pre-Code comedy chaos.
A brash American movie producer arrives at an army base in England wanting to shoot a movie and use the soldiers as extras. The base commander doesn't want any part of it, but the producer and his secretary cook up a scheme to trick the officer into letting him use the base and its men. Their plan succeeds, but things don't turn out quite the way they were expecting.
Acting
Charlotte Greenwood's gangly physical comedy steals every frame.
Direction
Walter Forde keeps this train wreck moving at breakneck speed.
