As a fan of the original series this is remarkable in being a 'modern mirroring' of the original characters and just as amusing! All the characters are played excellently - it's just a pity there was only one series...

This is a must-see film for all involved in the decision to send people to War - voters and politicians and of course the military hierarchy who make operational decisions. Men who fought and survived talk for the first time about how their experiences have affected their lives ever since. They are a 'Band of Brothers' and they all stress how those who were not there cannot comprehend their experience. Simply but sensitively filmed - all credit to Director/Producer Guy King.

When I fist saw this as a child it made me laugh until my chest hurt! A delightful romp - and an early colour movie. Bob Hope is in his element and Jane Russell is an unsmiling action-hero which was actually pretty rare back then.
