Privates on Parade Review

A war dramedy that plays like an awkward hybrid of "How I Won The War" and "The Producers". John Cleese is the officer who leads a troupe of Special Services actors on the British equivalent of a USO tour of the 1948 Malaysian conflict. Hilarity ensues? Somewhat. Most of the belly laughs come from the actual stage numbers (you have to listen closely to the lyrics for full comic effect). Portrayal of the grim realities of war tempers the comedy somewhat. Veddy veddy British, which means that if you are already tuned into the Python/Red Dwarf/Benny Hill sensibility, you'll likely find the film an entertaining diversion. Other viewers may find it puzzling and uninvolving. Personally, I thought the most interesting aspect was the backdrop-the Malaysian confilict itself, which is rarely reviewed in history books and documentaries (possibly due to its close proximity to the end of WW 2). MGM's DVD sports a good transfer and decent audio. A guarded recommendation-to history buffs, Anglophiles, and Ptyhon completists.
