We do not have rental rights for this product.

An utterly wild comedy epic directed by Steven Spielberg and nominated for three Academy Awards®. Lavish effects sequences highlight this hilarious, all star extravaganza set in Los Angeles just days after the attack on Pearl Harbor, when fear of a Japanese Invasion threw the city into a state of Pandemonium.

Screwball characters run wild on Hollywood Boulevard as manic servicemen, zealous store owners, teary-eyed girls and bickering Nazis are thrown together in this fast-rising comic soufflé that even features a sendup of Spielberg's own Jaws opening.

Set in 1917, on the Western Front, Rowan Atkinson’s character Captain Blackadder and his comrades (Tim McInnerny, Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie, and Tony Robinson) come up with a string of ill-thought out escape routes to break free from the deeply dug trenches. Through a combination of clever... Read more
