A charismatic lieutenant newly assigned to a remote fort is captured by a group of mountain bandits, thus setting in motion a madcap farce that is Lubitsch at his most unrestrained. A wonderfully anarchic and playfully subversive satire of military life from one of the great comedy filmmakers.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gloriously anarchic military farce that gleefully upends authority and propriety through escalating chaos and visual gags. Lubitsch's exuberant direction transforms a simple premise into a whirlwind of delightful subversion.
