I Only Arsked

1958 · 82 min

A breezy, silly romp of bumbling soldiers and cheeky schemes, played for easy laughs and gentle farce rather than any real stakes.

Tagline: The original "Army Game" shower make their "Scream" debut!
Overview: A group of misfit soldiers are desperately trying to fiddle themselves some leave. Instead they wrangle a posting to the British Middle-East protectorate of Darawa. Their frustrations and disappointment at landing one of the harshest territories is compensated when they discover a secret passage to the King's harem.
