Which Way to the Front?

1970 · 96 min

A broad, silly wartime farce that coasts on slapstick energy and dated gags, more exhausting than hilarious.

Tagline: You vill see... and you vill laugh.
Overview: Brendan Byers III, one of the richest men in America, has been pronounced 4-F and can't serve his country in its war against Hitler. Byers does not take "No" for an answer and recruits other 4-F's to fight against Hitler.
How it feels: Absurd, campy, satirical and light. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: War, class, identity, deception
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
