Synopsis
Set in 1956 during the Suez crisis, this
Dennis Potter
-scripted musical comedy is about two young British servicemen, Francis Francis (Giles Thomas) and Mick Hopper (
Ewan McGregor
), stationed as Russian translators at the War Office. Francis, who stays with his aunt and uncle, develops a crush on his beautiful neighbor, Sylvia (Louise Germaine), who happens to be married to Francis' bullying superior, Corporal Berry (Douglas Henshall). Mick, who loves rock & roll and dreams of becoming a professional drummer, falls for Lisa (Kymberley Huffman), the niece of Lt. Colonel Trekker (Shane Rimmer), the American liaison at the office. The movie employs Potter's usual device of the characters lip-synching to the popular songs of the period. ~ Yuri German, All Movie Guide
