Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

PodBill Just what I expected

Spoonixel Amateur movie with Big budget

Elizabeth Crowley I remember watching this first time round in 1993 (when I was 14) and really enjoying it. I have recently watching it again - currently free on 4 on demand - and probably liked it even more. The mini series is set during the Suez Crisis and is wonderfully surreal and amusing - the scenes in the war office when they all burst into song and particularly good (and a brilliant song track from the period). Definitely one to watch if you have not done so I highly recommend it - much better than Cold Lazarus - which I also watched first time round when it was on TV - but after revisiting this I think I may have to give it another shot

saraz298 This is definitely one of my favorite things of all time to watch--what does it for me, though, is the style and synchronization of the various 50's pop songs that are deliciously sprinkled throughout the movie---simply fantastic-----they blend well with the story and its characters and you are always pleasantly surprised when a new song just pops out of someone's mouth at the (sometimes) most inopportune time. I can't understand why it is not yet out on DVD---I purchased Potter's "Singing Detective" last year and I am anxiously awaiting this one---someone please light a fire under the powers that be in England so that we can all enjoy this treasure in its proper format.

steve-1703 I never liked Dennis Potter until I saw this series. I don't like musicals – the idea of a group of people bursting into spontaneous communal song never appealed to me, but the combination of scenario (a post second world war era where the war is now fought as much in the halls of Whitehall as on the battlefield – and Britain is losing) and music (British 50's) just hit the right note with me (pun intended). The characters are superb (this was the first thing I ever saw Ewan McGregor in) and the situations genuine. The relationships between the junior ranks in both military and civilian life in the era they are set are really believable (so my dad says). I loved the music so much I bought the CD, I just wish they would bring it out on DVD. Thanks Dennis.

hexa-2 Dennis Potter brilliance. The series shows why the Suez crisis was such a disaster with intelligence officers that prove the assertion that the term "Military Intelligence " is an oxymoron. My favorite character is the sex crazed Wurlitzer player from the Odeon. Recommended
