The film that inspired Dad's Army's closing credits! It's propaganda sure, but it's a good movie as well. It has a sort of documentary feel, showing what it took to go from civilian to a soldier in the British army in World War 2 - Niven is great as the officer who has to win the trust of his men and keep an eye out for a cameo from Peter Ustinov as a drunken cafe owner.
