## Description

British pop sensation “Jeep” Jackson’s (Anthony Newley) career is in high gear when he’s notified he’ll have to do a two-year tour in the army. Of course the musician isn’t well suited to the military life, and his antics wreak havoc on the patience of commanding officer Sergeant Lush (William Bendix). Will Jackson defeat the military with his singular personality or will a truce allow the army to soldier on? The film’s title song and “I’ve Waited So Long” were hits for Newley, and the story may have largely been inspired by his real-life mid-career stint in the army. Lionel Jeffries and Anne Aubrey also star. Directed by John Gilling.

    IDLE/IDOL ON PARADE from Sony
  

*by A***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 May 2015*

I notice that many of the more recent reviews don't discuss the DVD quality, so let's put that right. This SONY Pictures release of 2013, is a beautiful Cinemascope transfer, Ratio 2.35:1, clear B/W picture and good sound. Subtitles and a trailer are the extras. The film itself is of course a real period piece and should be viewed as such, and as such it is great fun, no small thanks to Newley himself who manages to make "Jeep" a likeable person, when it could easily have gone the other way. Another plus is Anne Aubrey, a beautiful lady who could act and who I think the British film industry undervalued. And of course we have the cream of British support/character actors...Lionel Jeffries, David Lodge, Sid Jamea, Harry Fowler etc and William Bendix who has a good go at an "Oirish" accent as the RSM. Some songs that still sound pretty good, some comedy and romance and you have a nice trip down memory Lane.

    I quite enjoyed this film but it certainly is dated now
  

*by F***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 November 2017*

I quite enjoyed this film but it certainly is dated now.  The songs are still great that Antony Newley sings.  One thing I hadn't noticed the first time I watched it, actually when it first came out, was that William Bendix played the part of a sergeant-major which he did in a very amusing way.  The only thing wrong was that he was in charge of the squad of newly-arrived recruits, drilling and training them.  Why is that wrong?  It is because when I was a soldier, sergeants did the drilling and training of recruits.  Normally each company, which is around 120 men (these days women as well), has only one senior NCO who is a company sergeant-major; he would not have been able to deal with that number of recruits.  The regiment has one regimental sergeant-major.  There can be a number of battalions in a regiment each with a battalion sergeant-major.For readers of the above no pedantry intended.  Recollections of one's military life are rather like one's schooldays; they do improve with age.

    At last
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 December 2011*

For some unexplained reason, somewhere over the Atlantic Idle became Idol and the American banker, William Bendix, became the star ahead of Anthony Newley, Lionel Jeffries and the ubiquitous David Lodge. Reflecting the situation of poor Terry Dene as a pop singer who fell foul of National Service - but with a happier outcome - this movie features Newley's debut as both singer and composer - although he had served in most of the armed services several times during his earlier career - and has long been on my wish list. It does not disappoint, reflecting the times and providing amusing roles for Sid James, Harry Fowler, Bernie Winters and many other familiar faces. Now if only someone would release Hieronymous..... BTW those wishing to see Bill Bendix in full song and dance mode can enjoy A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court [not the remake].
