On the Fiddle

Cyril Frankel directs this 1960s comedy starring Sean Connery in one of his final pre-Bond roles. It is World War II and layabout Cockney Horace Pope (Alfred Lynch) finds himself forced to enlist in the war effort after one of his schemes backfires. In the RAF he strikes up a friendship with Pedlar Pascoe (Connery) and the pair hatch a cunning plan to avoid being sent to the frontlines.

How will they react when the peril of war finally catches up with them?
