Ausgewählte Rezension
From Gainsborough in Great Britain, during WW II... King Arthur was a Gentleman. Picture and sound are actually pretty good quality, considering its 80 years old. Maybe it had restoration done. Opens with Evelyn Dall singing "You'll love the Army", and right plunk in the middle of the war, so it's chock full of patriotic wartime propaganda. choruses of women, men, and tanks saying Join Now! help the cause. Arthur Askey is "Arthur", who is dating Susan (Evelyn Dall) during wartime, so they are both doing their part. Lots of british humor, and fast, cockney accents. Arthur is stuck in the laboratory, and feels bad that he's not out fighting in the trenches. Lot's of singing musical numbers. Personally, I'd rather just have plot without the musical performances, but there we are. Short on plot, so many musical numbers. Lots of silliness. I'm sure there were many british "IN" jokes which were lost on me, but it's okay. Entertaining, but obviously geared toward the United Kingdom audience. When Susan gets caught breaking rules, Arthur says he'll tell the whole story unless they put him in active duty. And so it goes. It's pretty good low-key humor. Not much of a plot in here, but it keeps going. and going. and going. Directed by Marcel Varnel, who had made three war time flicks with Askey. Varnel died quite young in a car accident.
