Which Way to the Front? (1970)

Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

Perhaps not classic Lewis (his directorial invention flagging a bit, even if his gibbering performance genius remains intact), but audaciously anachronistic enough in its retread of the Nazi impersonation schtick to bring tears to the eyes. A World War II draft reject, Lewis' millionaire sets up his own private army to help out the Allies in Italy, producing an outrageous inversion of The Dirty Dozen.
