Orders Are Orders (1954)
Director: David Paltenghi
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Crude farce in which an American film unit descends on an army barracks to make a sci-fi movie, with the buxom actresses sowing predictable havoc. Based on a 1932 play, previously filmed (as Orders Is Orders) in 1933, with jokes just as antiquated. Just about worth suffering to see Tony Hancock in his film debut as the harassed bandmaster.Author: TM
