Private's Progress (1956 John Boulting)

Ian Carmichael, Dennis Price, Richard Attenborough, Terry-Thomas, William Hartnell (predating Carry on Sergeant by two years), John Le Mesurier, Miles Malleson, George Coulouris, Michael Trubshawe, Jill Adams, Christopher Lee (uncredited)


Written by Boulting and Frank Harvey from a novel by Alan Hackney.
Ed. Anthony Harvey.


Price with Jill Adams
Typically ineffectual Carmichael gets involved in WW2 behind the lines art robbery, then rather unfairly gets nicked for it! Lots of very familiar faces. Film is cheekily dedicated to those who got away with it!

As a complete tangent, John Le Mesurier = Boris Karloff (it's in the eyebrows)!
