The Dad's Army Movie Dossier: The Making of Jimmy Perry and David Croft's Classic Film

Atten-shun! We present ready for your inspection The Dad's Army Movie Dossier. An original book that targets Jimmy Perry and David Croft's classic 1971 movie spin-off from their top ranking BBC TV sitcom. Under the cover you'll discover such information as why the making of the film proved to be at times a frustrating experience for Jimmy Perry, why the sequel movie entitled Dad's Army and the Secret U-boat Base never emerged and how Clive Dunn (Corporal Jones) nearly submerged in a stunt involving a horse, a raft and a river. As well as behind-the-scenes anecdotes, there are quotes from the writers and stars, character and actor biographies, a bumper quiz and more. There is also a passing salute to the new (2016) Dad's Army movie.
