Review
Bizarre black comedy with more than a touch of '60's surrealism. Satirising the absurdity of British Army conventions useless Officer Goodbody leads his troops behind Egyptian enemy lines to construct a cricket pitch in order to impress a visiting VIP. John Lennon is superb in his 1st film role as someone other than a Beatle.
