Curiosidades
In 1965, at the height of the James Bond craze, "American-International Pictures" released this movie in the U.S. as "Operation Snafu". The title, as well as the advertising campaign, downplayed the comedic aspects of the movie, and by highlighting Sir Sean Connery's appearance (he was second-billed), suggested it was an espionage thriller in the tradition of the James Bond movies that were then breaking box-office records worldwide.

Citas
Flora McNaughton: [sudden power cut, room dimly lit by the roaring fire] I must find some candles, can't eat in the dark.
Flora McNaughton: [Flora chattering, as Pedlar moves closer] when we were children we used to hide in the dark and try to scare each other.
Pedlar Pascoe: You're not scared now ma'am now are you ?
[putting his arms around Flora]
Flora McNaughton: No but... .
Flora McNaughton: [Pedlar kisses Flora and sweeps her into his arms] Airman, put me down, this instance !
Flora McNaughton: [Pedlar kisses Flora again] Put me down... .. and take off your boots.

More interesting than it looks

'On the Fiddle' is OK, and won't let you down on a quiet afternoon. It's more interesting for the fact that it's a comedy war film from the point of view of the average soldier, and the officers who do appear are shown as complete idiots. Nowadays this is a given, but in 1960, when the UK still had conscription, to make a film like this was to take sides in the social changes that were happening. It's a forerunner of 'Kelly's Heroes' on a tiny budget, and it looks like it was fun to make, so you can't judge it too harshly. And there are few better than Sean Connery at buddy movies. In a way, it shows how Bond constrained Connery for the years he did it, and I wish there were more films of the time with him not wearing a toupee or being a psychopathic MCP.
