Clever But Lacks the Spark of a Sacha Guitry

This Ben Travers military comedy offers the amusing spectacle of comedians Tom Walls (also the director) and Ralph Lynn in dual roles and sets up its opening premise briskly. Walls is especially dry in his playing and the continuity benefits from some clever cutting. But despite the tour de force performances the treatment is overly complicated and talky.This is the kind of theatrical material that in the hands of someone like Sacha Guitry could have been a sparkling gem.
