Imitation General

When the general is knocked off, master sergeant murphy (ford) puts on the general's helmet and takes command. But there are many obstacles... that's an arrestable offense, and one of his old enemies could recognize him at any time. And of course, his old nemesis is trying to steal a girl from him. To top it all off, there are german soldiers all around them. With german tanks coming towards their position. It's fun, in spite of the serious subject; ten years had gone by since the end of ww two, and we're caught up in the light story line as much as the military action going on. Red buttons is here as the sidekick. It's okay, if you overlook a few things. Directed by george marshall, who did some great comedies. Which probably explains why he was chosen to direct this, as it is more of a light comedy than a serious war drama. Even the director and writer have military-ish names: marshall and chamberlain. Entertaining.
