A sleepy army barracks is about to be overrun by a film company planning to shoot a science fiction caper. And it’s not long before the enticing female stars persuade the boys of the brigade to take part - much to the annoyance of the Divisional Commander who decides to make a sunrise inspection.
This wonderful comedy is packed with character and features some of the finest British talent of the age.
