Notes: Hapless British commander Lieutenant Goodbody (Michael Crawford) enthusiastically leads his troops on a series of debacles on the battlefields of
World War Two - including the calamitous installation of a cricket pitch behind enemy lines.
Featuring John Lennon in his only non-musical screen performance, How I Won the War is a biting satire not just on war, but also the concept of the war movie.
A surreal farce fantastically brought to life by Richard Lester`s stylised direction, it remains a unique and innovative cult comedy.
