Oh! What a Lovely War
Richard Attenborough's 1970 directing debut is one of the most unusual musicals ever, and its anti-war message remains undiluted. 30 top English stars participate; most of the delightful songs are genuine pop hits of 1914-1918 ... with ironic & sarcastic replacement lyrics actually sung by the troops. Paramount.
