Synopsis:
Charlie joins up and while in training dreams of performing a daring mission behind enemy lines.
Review:
A difficult challenge for the film-maker, who detested war and yet could not afford to make light of it or dwell on its horrors. He succeeds by transferring his tramp character to the trenches, simply, though we are far from the delights of Easy Street.
