El teniente Goodbody intenta suplir su falta de experiencia con un entusiamo desbordante. Por eso, cuando le ordenan que construya un campo de criquet en un desierto norteafricano, cien kilómetros detrás de las líneas enemigas, no se lo piensa dos veces y empieza a cumplir su misión incluso si la mayoría de sus hombres tienen que perecer en el intento. Pero, abandonado por sus superiores, traicionado por sus inferiores y, finalmente, capturado por los nazis, Goodboy va a necesitar algo más que su irrefrenable optimismo para salir de esta... algo como un ¡increíble golpe de suerte! (MGM Distribution Co.)

It’s quite the mess. My much-loved book turned into a muddled film, which has its bright (funny and chilling) moments, but as a whole doesn't particularly impress. However, it's true that this is exactly how I pictured Lieutenant Goodbody. The idea of "colored" soldiers was good, whilst the repeated quoting of Lawrence of Arabia during the desert scenes was not good. Three stars.

I acknowledge that in this case, I am not entirely objective and could add another star. However, the rating is directly proportional to the disappointment this film brought me. I discovered the novel of the same name at 14, read it in one sitting, and in the following months, I succumbed to uncontrollable fits of laughter in completely inappropriate situations. This war satire, full of dry British humor, makes other comedies pale in comparison... But in the film version, that biting, sarcastic humor completely disappeared, leaving anti-war propaganda full of strange allegories, poorly edited to boot. Not even the famous John Lennon could save it. Overall impression: 25%.
