Dad’s Army (1972)

In 1940, stuffy but patriotic bank manager George Mainwaring (Arthur Lowe) knew Britain had to be defended--and recruited the best Home Guard platoon the village of Walmington-on-Sea has to offer. That turned out not to be much, as his ragtag, understandably unconscripted bunch humiliated themselves at a war games weekend...but is redemption at hand when they run into a stranded Luftwaffe crew? Big-screen bow for the popular Britcom co-stars John Le Mesurier, Clive Dunn, John Laurie, James Beck. 95 min. C/Rtg: G

Steptoe & Son (1972)

England’s favorite feuding father-son junk merchants--Albert (Wilfred Brambell) and Harold Steptoe (Harry H. Corbett)--hit the big screen with this equally funny film based on their sitcom.

Co-stars Arthur Howard, Victor Maddern; scripted by series’s creators Ray Galton and Alan Simpson. 98 min. C/Rtg: NR

With Diana Dors, Milo O’Shea. 99 min. C/Rtg: NR
