Privates on Parade -- The year is 1948. Deep in the communist-infested jungles of Southeast Asia, bumbling Major Giles Flack (Cleese) reluctantly oversees a motley troop of entertainers sent to boost the morale of his men.

Monty Python veteran John Cleese (A Fish Called Wanda, the Harry Potter films) stars in this full-frontal comedy assault applauded by The New York Times as '...lethally funny!' The year is 1948. Deep in the communist-infested jungles of Southeast Asia, bumbling Major Giles Flack (Cleese) reluctantly oversees a motley troop of entertainers sent to boost the morale of his men. But amid the hilarious song-and-dance numbers, back-stage romances and cross-dressing captains, dark deeds are afoot in the clueless Major's camp. An outrageously on-target satire, PRIVATES ON PARADE is loaded with laughter and highlighted by Cleese's deliciously over-the-top performance!
