British Comedy Guide

Forces' Sweetheart (1953)

No, nothing to do with Vera Lynn, just a very, very unfunny musical comedy, made all the more embarrassing by Michael Bentine fitting in parts of his boring stage act whenever possible and Harry Secombe half trying to be a Goon, sadly unsuccessfully.

Freddy Frinton comes out of it with some credit, but even his acting is a bit over the top.

Oh, and Graham Stark was the struggling for laughs hotel porter.
