What Did You Do In The War, Daddy?

War Is Hell... And Isn't It Fun?

James Coburn (The Magnificent Seven), Dick Shawn (The Producers), Carroll O'Connor (TV's All in the Family) and Harry Morgan (TV's M*A*S*H) star in this hilarious film from comedy master Blake Edwards (The Pink Panther, Victor/Victoria) and Oscar-Winning screenwriter William Peter Beatty.

It's World War II Italy and by-the-book Captain Lionel Cash (Shawn) is sent by his general (O'Connor) to take over a troop of misfit soldiers, led by the wily and resourceful Lieutenant Christian (Coburn). Cash's orders? To capture a nearby village. He finds the Italian soldiers eager to surrender, but first they insist that the Americans join them in a night of carousing at the local festival. By the time everyone comes to, the entire German and American armies are certain a pitched battle is in progress. Who wins? Who loses? Who ends up in the village beauty's bed? War may be hell, but it sure can be fun!
