🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its humor on the classic comedic premise of mistaken identity and dual roles, with the protagonists perpetually in over their heads. Director Frank R. Stayer builds gags that rely on the absurdity of the wartime setting and the total inadequacy of the heroes for their assumed parts.

Those who tire of modern cynicism will find a delightful, almost surreal farce where ridiculousness trumps patriotism, and a happy ending feels like the only logical conclusion. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Frank R. Strayer

Best Watched

Watch in good spirits as a curious specimen of silent slapstick with a wartime twist.
