A tale of the Phony War

Unlike the other "reviewer" i have had the opportunity of seeing this film.It is of course based on the cartoon characters of Bruce Bairnsfather of Tommie's in the First World War.There was a Warner Brothers silent film "The Better Ole" produced by Warner Brothers in 1926.This film updates the story to the Phony War period of the Second World War.Bill is now serving in The Pioneer Corps close to where his son,played by John Mills,is stationed.The humour ,such as it is is rather predictable,stealing chickens etc and is rather laboured.It is rather surprising that this film is dated 1941 as it has the feeling of a film produced before the blitzkreig of the low countries.John Mills,is rightly quite dismissive of this film in his autobiography.It is really no more than a curiosity now.

Young Bill Busby: Now you get this, Dad. If anyone's fat-headed enough to start a blinking, stupid war these days, he can count me out of it.
Old Bill: You wouldn't fight?
Young Bill Busby: Not me.
Old Bill: And you say that in front of her what lost her Dad in the last war.
Young Bill Busby: Look, I seen what happened to you, the last time; wasting the four best years of your life, sitting in the mud. And for what?
Old Bill: For a little place called England. Ever heard of it?
Young Bill Busby: Eh, Just about.
Old Bill: It's a place where you can do what you like; say what you like and live as you like. I thought it was worth fighting for. I thought your Mother was worth fighting for. I thought you was worth fighting for - then. Seems I was wrong.
Young Bill Busby: Yeah, do don't it?
