Film Description

Effective British PoW comedy. The inimitable James Robertson Justice is the cantankerous professor taken prisoner by the Nazis, Stanley Baxter - excellent in a rare big screen role - is the PoW who poses as a Nazi to help get him out. Eric Sykes turns in a bravura performance as 'The Mole', determined to escape from anywhere!
