Richard Wilson - Both Feet In the Army

About This Movie

So, 'Both Feet in the Army' is this charming little piece featuring Richard Wilson, who takes us on a nostalgic journey through his National Service days. It's got a light-hearted tone, which is refreshing, really. The pacing feels almost conversational, like he's reminiscing over a pint with you. You get snippets of the trials and absurdities that young men faced after the war, and it really captures that sense of camaraderie and the absurdity of it all. The performances feel genuine—Wilson brings warmth and humor that makes you smile. It's kind of a unique snapshot of a particular era, blending laughter with history in a way that sticks with you.

This film has a certain scarcity factor, as it didn’t have a wide release, which makes it a bit of a hidden jewel for collectors. Most copies seem to circulate in specialty markets or online, contributing to its niche appeal. The DVD releases are limited, so if you're on the lookout for something that captures a unique slice of post-war life, this is certainly worth considering for your collection.
