CGiii Comment
Better suited to the theatre...where the 'nude' shower scene is a definite crowd-pleaser!
The film has its moments - not enough to see it through to the end.
Watch only for Denis Quilley...a marvel.
Trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
The members of SADUSEA (Song And Dance Unit South East Asia) fall in and out of love while trying to dodge Malayan Communist bullets in the late 1940s. Not only that, they have to contend with a loony, bible bashing Major who creates far more danger than any of the jungle inhabitants. Only gay captain Dennis Quilley seems capable of coping with him but even he isn't aware of the cowardly Michael Elphick selling arms to the natives.
