Sexylocher Masterful Movie

GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

Michelle Ridley The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Hitchcoc Apparently the Private Snafu was a regular when it came to films warning soldiers of danger. The goofy Private can't quite get the message that when he lets his emotions and hormones take over, his next act may be his last. He is tempted by hidden land mines, exploding pianos, nubile women, on and on. Of course, he is an absolute idiot because he is warned frequently and can't wait to get himself done in. Some of my Vietnam War friends told of unique types of traps positioned by the enemy, most of which worked on the kindness and compassion of some of the American soldiers. I may check another of these Snafu things out at a later time.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Booby Traps" is another 4-minute cartoon from the days of World War II and it features Snafu again, the world's most incompetent soldier. Like all the other, it is black-and-white once again. In this one, Snafu keeps running into one booby trap after the other while always telling us that he can spot them instantly when he sees them. Not a really funny watch with the exception of one scene: the connection between women's boobs and booby traps. I really cannot believe Clampett went there. pretty hilarious moment. Snafu is voiced again by the legendary Mel Blanc, but even for him, not everyone can be a winner. This was not a particularly good or entertaining watch. I suggest you watch some other better Mel Blanc cartoon. There's enough out there.

MartinHafer During WWII, Hollywood made a wide variety of training films meant to be shown only to the troops. Because of this, the jokes were often sexual and the language was distinctly "non-Hollywood" for the era. Some of the films are a bit dull, but the ones I enjoy seeing the most are the clever Pvt. Snafu films. They have a distinctly Warner Brothers flare--the artwork and voice characterizations are pure Looney Toons. The only obvious differences (apart from the adult content) is that they were made in black and white.This time, the idiot, Pvt. Snafu is learning about the danger of booby traps. And, as usual, he gets himself killed as an object lesson to the soldiers! My favorite gags involved Snafu trying to milk a camel and when he went in to a tent filled with what appeared to be gorgeous women (all he wanted to do was smoke and play the piano). A cute film that is almost as funny as the earlier Snafu film about spies.

Kieran Kenney Very politically incorrect by today's standards, this animated romp concerning the perils with which our boys contend OVER THERE (in the Arabian deserts of good ol' WWII) is a total riot. The harem of 1940's beauties (possibly the sexiest cartoon characters ever put to the screen), an over-sized mouse-trap, a rigged up-right piano, a potentially explosive hooka, a triangle-playing mechanical Hitler and, best of all, a talking camel with a bomb attached to it, are some of the highlights of this brilliant short work. Only two Private Snafu shorts I've seen to date (8-12-2003), the other being Spies, which is just as offensively uproarious and side-splitting. In light of not too long ago world events, it's Middle Eastern setting is all too eerie.
