Up the Front

Director: Bob Kellett

Comedy

Frankie Howerd plays Lurk, a coward dodging the WWI draft. A hypnotist (Stanley Holloway) forces him into bravery, dispatching him to the army where he meets spies like Zsa Zsa Gabor, has the German attack plan tattooed on his backside and returns to Britain. The film brims with cheeky humor and witty asides, a fitting close to Howerd’s Up… series.
