Review of Make Mine a Double

I was surprised to see this made in 1959 as the premise would better fit 1949. However despite all the cringemaking low humour the film is worth watching to see how 'backward' England was in those days. The V1 star seems very realistic as did the farn setting. The pomp, idocy and waste of the military show why so many names are on war memorials. All the soldiers wore thoser stupid little forage caps - what idiot designed them! I'm watching while on 2020 COVID lockdown and in happier times the film may lose its appeal.
