For Valor Reviews

One of Walls and Lynn's better British comedies, FOR VALOR (the inscription on the Victoria Cross) begins during the Boer War with foot soldier Walls saving the life of his major, Lynn. The grateful Lynn puts Walls in for a Victoria Cross, but his well-intended actions result in Walls' one-way trip back to England to be tried for various crimes he committed while a civilian. Lynn searches the British prisons for his hero and finally spots him recruiting doughboys for WW I. Lynn offers to raise Walls' boy (who has been a discipline problem) along with his own grandson (who is a goody-goody), in the hope that the good kid will have an influence on the bad one. Twenty years later the opposite proves true when Walls' son (also played by Walls) has corrupted Lynn's grandson (played by Lynn), who ends up in jail, while young Walls lives comfortably on illegally made money. Not only that, but young Walls is taking care of old major Lynn, whom he tells that his grandson is living happily in the US, when in reality the grandson rots in prison.
