I really enjoyed this one. It felt unique among British war films. It's the true life story of a British actor impersonating Field Marshal Montgomery in order to confuse German intelligence. M.E Clifton James plays himself as the actor who undertook this role in WWII. I thought this aspect was great!
It's also one of the best John Mills roles I've seen. I Was Monty's Double is often a quirky little film. It has a unique vibe that is somewhere between comedy, autobiography and action/adventure. It made me laugh out loud numerous times.
M.E Clifton James was an easy character to root for. Immensely likeable and down to earth. The whole story was incredibly fascinating and I was engaged throughout the whole film - often watching with a smile across my face.
The third act felt a little 'tacked on' and slightly out of place among the rest of the film. I later discovered this was one of a few 'embellishments' and diversions from the real story. Nevertheless, I found I Was Monty's Double a good time and worthwhile war film!
