"Raise your back sight."
The first in the long running series, sees a motley collection of raw recruits called up for national service. They mostly rebel against their tough sergeant (William Hartnell), until they find out they are his last platoon before retiring, and his last wish is to win the Star Squad prize.
A retinue of carry on regulars including Charles Hawtrey, and Kenneth Williams, set the franchise off to a mild start. None of the risqué slapstick that characterised the later films, but with Shirley Eaton as the eye candy.
