这是Richard Lester最好的一个片。 An absurdist classic This is a wonderful surreal comedy based on the play by Spike Milligan and John Antrobus. You know that it is going to be an odd film right at the beginning, when the opening credits list the cast in order of their height. The film begins with the BBC (Frank Thornton) telling us through the facade of an old television that this is the third, or is it the fourth, anniversary of the shortest war in history, lasting 2 hours and 28 minutes. England is now a barren landscape, littered with derelict cars and buildings, hills of old boots, broken crockery, and other debris. Forty million people perished and there are only 20 known survivors. The Queen did not survive, and of the 20 known survivors the next in line for the throne is a Mrs Ethel Schroake of 393a High Street, Leytonstone. Among the other survivors are Ralph Richardson (O Lucky Man!) as Lord Fortnum of Alamein, who isn't looking forward to his impending mutation into a bed sitting room. Michael Hordern is Bules Martin, who wears a 18-carat Hovis bread ring. Spike Milligan is a postman who wanders around and delivers some memorable dialogue, for example And in come the three bears - the daddy bear said, 'Who's been sleeping in my porridge' - and the mummy bear said, 'that's no porridge, that was my wife' . Arthur Lowe is slowly turning into a parrot (which is then eaten by Spike Milligan), while his wife, the owner of her own death certificate, turns into a wardrobe. His daughter is pregnant with a strange creature, which she has held inside her for seventeen months. Peter Cook and Dudley Moore are a pair of policemen who perpetually tell the others to keep moving!. Moore growls a lot and turns into a dog at the end. Marty Feldman is a wellington-boot-wearing nurse. It's a hilarious, absurdist treat, and one of my treasured filmic pleasures.

本片被很多人认为是莎士比亚戏剧改编中成就最高的一部,由莎士比亚的五部戏剧浓缩而成。讲述英国国王亨利四世即位后,全国叛乱不止,形势动荡,王子却熟视无睹,与其密友胖武士弗斯塔夫终日豪饮作乐。弗斯塔夫是喜欢吹牛而无所不为之辈,他向亨利四世进谗言说王子平叛不力,把所有功劳归于自 己。后来亨利四世驾崩,王子继位为亨利五世,弗斯塔夫以为自己能加官封爵,岂料被昔日旧友一脚踢开。原来亨利五世力图振作,那段放荡日子从此不复返,弗斯塔夫只得郁郁而终。导演用自己的方式重新诠释了这个小丑故事,但对他持同情态度,因为导演指出弗斯塔夫的行径正是他对抗日益改变的世界的护身符,从他与王子之间的友谊变化,影射出这个世界早已今非昔比,往日的骑士精神也因为强权政治的诡诈绝情而荡然无存。
