How I Won The War
1967, 106 minutes, Rated M
A "deliciously cynical paraody of the lunacy of war". How I Won The War is directed with "chilling brilliance" and "lampoons every possible cliche of popular war films". Starring Michael Crawford and the legendary John Lennon this "outrageous" tale of an inept WWII Commander and his hapless squad of military misfits is "an extremely funny picture"!
What Lieutenant Goodbody (Crawford) lacks in experience, he's desperately trying to make up for in enthusiasm. And when he's ordered to build a cricket playing field in the wastelands of North Africa - 100 miles behind enemy lines - he's determined to succeed.... even if it kills most of his men. Abandoned by his superiors, betrayed by his inferiors and finally captured by Nazis. It may take more than his unrelenting optimism to win the day... like some hilariously good luck!
