Yank title "Skywatch"
With Benny Hill, Victor Maddern, Ian Carmichael, Sydney Tafler, Tommy Steele and Dick Emery in the cast, you would think this would probably be totally played for laughs, but it wasn't. It had its serious moments with each having a back story and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Other members of this motley crew of misfits manning a searchlight on the south coast during WWII were Harry Locke, Johnny Briggs and Cyril Smith, with Cardew Robinson and Sheila Hancock in civilian parts, it all gelled for a film that keeps you with it to the end.
Most enjoyable
