And though it does chronicle the life of a career British soldier named Clive Candy (Roger Livesey) through three wars, the film deftly subverts viewer expectations time and time again with its witty and poignant portrayal of a man whose ideas of the world don't always blend easily with the reality around him. <p><a href="default-nf.htm">Go to the review</a></font> </body>
