Comedy War

Oh! What a Lovely War features a stellar cast, and by fusing the surreal with the factual, and juxtaposing savagely funny satire with quiet sorrow, Richard Attenborough has created the oddest and most outstanding film ever made about the “game” that became World War One.

Director: Richard Attenborough
