Set in 1942 during World War II, this eccentric but true tale (based on 'Amateur Commandos' by Raymond Foxall) begins at a backwater barracks, where Sergeant Peter King and Private Leslie Cuthbertson practice the art of dentistry. Faced by one rejection too many to see frontline duty, they decide to take matters into their own hands and set off on a mission, to engage in active combat on their own behalf in France against the Germans. Armed with weapons and dentistry equipment, of course, they must first cross the channel in secret. A charming film about two men desperate to live out their dreams.

Much Ado about Jazz with Chris Gumley and Al Gurr at Upton Magna VH last night - absolutely brilliant night. Such fantastically talented musicians!

I am so pleased I was able to see the film, as is was intended on the big screen. Much better than watching it at home on the television.

Audience feedback - Lingen Village Hall
Most films we've seen are enjoyable, well-chosen for the audience and very entertaining at times. Very well run by the group, especially the refreshments at intermission.

An exciting community resource in this isolated village. 'A taste of culture'.

This venue at Tasley is extremely well organised, films are well varied for a mixed audience.

The organisers were very welcoming and offered drinks and cake as everyone arrived. The film (Ali & Ava) was different and gave an insight to other peoples lives. This is why I go to Flicks in the Sticks : to see other films rather than Box Office blockbusters and get a glimpse into other cultures around the world.
