When General Bolt (Carroll O’Connor) asks “by the book”
Captain Lionel Cash (Dick Shawn what to do with a little town of Valerno Italy
during WWII, Cash tells him to go by the book and capture the town. With that answer Bolt gives Cash the command
of War Weary Company C to lead the attack and take the city. Begrudgingly, the company takes the task
because Lieutenant Christian (James Coburn) is told by Cash that they must.
Upon arrive in the town they find a very willing army and
town that wants to surrender, the only problem is that they do not want to
surrender until after their towns wine festival that night. Let the fun begin. Christian wires back to command that they
have run into a little resistance, just to allow for the town to have their
party. Little did he know that command
was going to send in Major Pott (Harry Morgan) to oversee the resistance.
This movie turns into a fun cat and mouse chase that
involves three countries. With this
movie you will just have to sit back and enjoy. It is family friendly for older children
who can follow the plot line of ‘who is on first’. I give this show four solid enjoyment stars (There are no Oscar worthy performances in this one); it is worth
it just to see Harry Morgan in such an incredibly funny roll.
