Right after The Second World War, many filmmakers were inspired by thousands of stories that the one just mentioned caused.
In this case, we're talking about Dad's Army, an idea first brought to reality by the writers Jimmy Perry and David Croft. It all started as television series broadcasted in British televisions between 1968 and 1977. It consisted on at least 80 episodes. Dad's Army became a film in 1971, directed by Norman Cohen and starred by most of it's original actors in the series. This film shows some men surrounded by their ridiculous situations getting prepared for a possible German invasion. These Home Guards aka Local Defense Volunteers want to serve their country even after they were not accepted in the regular military due to their age or to their mental deficiency.
Definitely one of the funniest films and probably the best film of a TV show ever, because it lets us combine the bitterness of a hard situation such as war, with the delightful essence that only comedy can offer. A must see.
