A psychotic American commander worried about the subversive effects of water fluoridisation on his "vital bodily fluids" starts off an attack on the Soviet Union. No-one can stop the fighters and no-one, as yet, knows about the failsafe Doomsday Machine. Brilliant black comedy.

HAIL THE CONQUERING HERO (1944)
CertificationU Our Rating
When Woodrow Lafayette Pershing Truesmith is discharged from the Marines due to a hay-fever condition, he is reluctant to return home. However, on the advice of some fellow marines, Woodrow fabricates a story which elevates him to the status of war hero. A delightful, if slightly sentimental by modern standards, satire from Preston Sturges.
