Norman Wisdom - The Square Peg - 1958

Norman and Mr Grimsdale are council workmen mending the road outside an
Army base when they come into conflict with the military. Shortly
afterwards, they get drafted and fall into the clutches of the Sergeant
they have just bested. They are sent to France to repair roads in front
of the Allied advance but get captured. Norman takes advantage of a
useful similarity to impersonate General Schreiber and manages to
return a hero.
