Ealing Cinema

on BBC Two England

Will Hay's famous music-hall character of the bumbling schoolmaster was used to great effect by Ealing Studios in an ironic comedy. It was a time when German soldiers were still portrayed as incompetent and ridiculous - although the situation in Europe was far from funny, as the news-reel reminds us.
