Director Oliver Parker. Comedy/War


The film is set during 1944, when World War II was about to reach its end. In Walmington-on-Sea, Captain Mainwaring's Home Guard suffers from low morale. This is until a glamorous journalist arrives, to report on the platoon's exploits. Meanwhile, MI5 have discovered a radio signal transmitted from Walmington-on-Sea towards Berlin, apparently the work of a spy, giving the Home Guard a chance to make a real difference in the war.

Flicks Advisor (comments from our film promoters)

Saw it in 2016 and didn’t remember it at all, very enjoyable and a suitable end to our VE Day 80 celebrations.

A fun film. Don't compare - just go along for the easy, feelgood entertainment, A great cast.

Comments varied. Several mentioned not much of a story line, several thought it excellent, some enjoyed that the ladies were more involved than with the television version. Score would have been probably 8.5
