- Quotes
The Major: You'd never think it, would you?
Bartender: Think what, sir?
The Major: Well, they... They all seem to have contracted the dreadful affliction.
Bartender: What affliction, sir?
The Major: Spondulicks. Oh, a most pernicious disease. The natives used to get in in their bazaars.
Bartender: A very nasty place to get it, sir.
The Major: The worst, yes. They used to go mad and bite dogs. We had to shoot them.
Bartender: Really?
The Major: Yes. Sometimes we had to shoot the dogs, as well.
Bartender: Were they mad?
The Major: Well, they weren't very pleased about it, you know.
- ConnectionsFeatured in The Unknown Peter Sellers (2000)
The three of them had just taken the airwaves by storm with CRAZY PEOPLE; the following year it would become THE GOON SHOW. This movie is right in the mold, with old jokes, retired majors, and a musical interlude. It also has some silent pantomime sequences with organ accompaniment. While it occasionally veers into the surreal humor of the show, it's neither particularly original nor well put together. Still, it offers Secombe's third screen appearance, Milligan'sfirst and Sellers first in a manner of speaking.... he had done two voices in earlier pictures.
