Stalag Luft

The DVD box promises that this will be 'zany and hilarious'.

It proves to be neither.

There's a nice idea here (to spoof PoW films) and they assembled a good cast (and Stephen Fry) to try and deliver that.

Unfortunately it doesn't work. It gets lost in the abyss, not knowing whether it's a straight drama, or a comedy, ending up being neither convincingly.

Nicholas Lyndhurst is good in it, he always is in whatever he does, sadly pigeonholed here in the UK for being just 'Rodney' from 'Only Fools and Horses'. Stephen Fry just plays the same role he's always played (badly), but Lyndhurst deserved this to be better.

Sadly it's not.
