What Did You Do in the War, Daddy? carries an engaging title but after dreaming it up the writers promptly forgot all about it and launched into a thinly-devised comedy without much substance.
It is held together by terrific performances, Philip Lathrop's exquisite, pastel-shaded photography, and Blake Edwards' instinct for composition and design, let loose in some pleasantly fantastical images.
If you might be inclined to take offense at what is callous bad taste in parodying something that was serious, after all, stay away. This only goes to show it's getting tougher all the time to make a marriage of war and farce.
Edwards has never been accused of tastefulness; this 1966 effort is typically unrestrained and raucous.
Colorful as a carnival, crazy as a comic opera, this yarn about some GIs in World War II provokes more laughter than a wild party with every guest a comedian.
It's a well-honed farce that gave Edwards and his cast a solid framework in which to improvise, which they did to superlative effect.
