one of those movie where one look at everyone involve with the film and think a surefire hit but it isn not . really just a series of skit about carry on in the english way after a nuclear attack and the film never connects in any way with the viewer . originally a play by spike milligan and i have a feeling that on paper the movie would seem hilarious and though a couple of scene translate well ( the tube train that keep run even though no one need it and the wedding ) most of the skit fall flat . i and for one and cringe every time marty feldman appear wear a nurse uniform . maybe part of the problem be that the film be definitely target towards a british audience and since i be american and i do not get it but i think that even the english would find it dated today .
