You Lucky People (1955)

Forward march for vintage fun and laughter with legendary quick-fire comic Tommy Trinder in this raucous parade-ground comedy. Reservist Tommy Smart (Trinder) has made his fortune selling army surplus and is not best pleased to be recalled to barracks for two weeks compulsory training. Arriving with his trusty manservant, his dreams of a quiet life are shattered when he gets an ear-splitting welcome from his old enemy, Sergeant Thickpenny (Rufus Cruickshank), and the notorious R S M Brittain, who's already decided Tommy is an ''orrible little man'. The war might be over but with a mountain of spud-bashing to do and some highly irregular night manoeuvres to be carried out, it's just one skirmish after another around this highly active army base. But will Tommy make it back to civvy street in one piece?
