okay WWII british film.. not much plot in here

5/10

"From Gainsborough in Great Britain, during WW II... King Arthur was a Gentleman. Picture and sound are actually pretty good quality, considering its 80 years old. Maybe it had restoration done. Opens with Evelyn Dall singing "You'll love the Army", and right plunk in the middle of the war, so it's chock full of patriotic wartime propaganda. choruses of women, men, and tanks saying Join Now! help the cause. Arthur Askey is "Arthur", who is dating Susan (Evelyn Dall) during wartime, so they are both doing their part. Lots of british humor, and fast, cockney accents...."

Arthur's comment whilst cutting grass, "Give us the tools and we'll finish the job", is a quote from Winston Churchill (broadcast February 9th, 1941).
