Recently, I watched How I Won the War (it was on netflix) and As much as I love John Lennon, I must say that has to be the weirdest movie I've ever seen! Entertaining, but odd. Whats your thoughts on it?

Whats your thoughts on it? Well, mrslemke, you're not alone in not understanding what it was all about, as this interview proves, (around the 5 minute mark). As a side issue, I was quite surprised that Paul and John were commissioned to write the soundtrack to The Family Way The film is a satire on the British class system, which was still in evidence, at the time of the film's making. The cricket pitch is a metaphor for how some of the Officer classes viewed war as just being a game, Powell and Pressburger cover the same ground more straight forwardly in the 1943 film The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp.

I really liked it. With a fair touch of the surreal to it as well. ie; even though the soldiers are getting killed off one by one, they're still around (coloured) to help out.
Michael Crawford was great with all those accents.

I'm curious...was John unable to work on "The Family Way" soundtrack because he was filming "How I Won the War"? The interview is no longer on YouTube and I couldn't find any info when I googled.
