Written specifically as a vehicle to launch top Teevee 'comic in a frock' Danny La Rue onto the big


Whilst my dear old Granddad introduced me to the joys of Saturday night B W horror double bills as a child it was my Nan (she of Cannibal Ferox and not murdering wee boys fame) who opened (some would say poisoned) my young mind to the joys of Dick Emery, Norman Wisdom, Lord Bruce of Forsyth and the fantastic Danny La Rue.
Pretty of mouth and slender of hip Thespian Fred Wimbush (the worlds greatest female impersonator and my real Dad La Rue) is busy preparing what will undoubtedly be the greatest ever performance of Hamlet for the British publics viewing pleasure but, as is always the case in these situations, those pesky Germans decide to start the Second World War forcing our hero to do the right thing and join the army as a manly (albeit grease covered) mechanic type.
Although Fred enjoys his oil covered antics, banging his tool and cracking his nuts all day, he misses the roar of the greasepaint and the smell of the crowd so decides to join one of the army's stage troupes.
auto rental companies Everything auto rental companies is going swimmingly until one night, halfway thru' Fred's rousing melody of Cher hits a squad of Jew hating, minority exterminating (yet incredibly well dressed) Nazis burst in and take every single one of the soldiers prisoner.
Seizing his chance, Fred totters out of the theatre in an attempt to evade capture (and possibly a severe arse shagging) by the nasty Nazi's and get back to dear old Blighty before his true gender is discovered and he's shot as a spy.
Dodging horny, garlic eating Frenchmen and randy, sausage guzzling German soldiers along the way, Fred finally joins forces with two upper crust English schoolteachers, auto rental companies Miss Flodden (Harry auto rental companies Worth sidekick auto rental companies Bowers) and Miss Lockhart (Rising Damps Ms. Jones, the horse faced yet vaguely erotic de la Tour) plus their group of sex starved schoolgirls (none of whom are under 25) stuck in Paris after a trip to the Louvre.
This causes even more problems for poor Fred, you see even tho' he's camp as pants with scary blue rinsed man-gran auto rental companies hair he is, in fact the most heterosexual man on the planet and can barely control his almost John Leslie-like urges and stop himself from jumping on the schoolies, ripping off their flimsy white cotton shirts before cupping their smooth, budding breasts and knobbing them senseless.
Suddenly veering from trannie-based action movie to tragically camp holiday sightseeing film with endless auto rental companies scenes of Fred and co. travelling thru war torn France on a lorry singing the classic schoolyard auto rental companies (well, it was if you attended Hogwarts like me) ditty Hitler Has Only Got One Ball , the pace suddenly picks up with the introduction of Fred's nemesis, the evil, Gerbil cheeked General Brincker (Brit Teevee stalwart Marks) who (not too surprisingly) auto rental companies falls for Fred's ample charms (and curvy buttocks) and invites our hero to join him for a romantic dinner in a scene so great that it was copied (sorry, homaged) in the criminally underrated 2001 Stefan Ruzowitzky movie All The Queen's auto rental companies Men.
Discovering that the have a transvestite and a group of young girls trapped behind enemy lines (and needing a way to steer the movie to a climax that doesn't involve auto rental companies Fred being forced to fellate a Luger whilst a trouser-less and scarily aroused General Brincker orders his troops to violently auto rental companies deflower the defenceless schoolgirls), auto rental companies the British Army have no choice but to send their best man in to rescue them.
Enter (roughly from behind obviously) the Rat-faced upper crust air force officer Colonel Smallpiece (Percival) who, knowing Fred's true identity auto rental companies (if not his sexuality) rushes over to France to save his friend and hopefully score some underage tail for himself in the process.
Written specifically as a vehicle to launch top Teevee 'comic in a frock' Danny La Rue onto the big screen (his only other movie role was in the Freddie and The Dreamers fiasco Every Day's A Holiday), Our Miss Fred is a gentle enough comedy that's as harmless as it is inconsequential.
At the time criticised due to the problem of tailoring an entire script around a man whose talent was the very theatre friendly art of female impersonation, La Rue does a good enough job of holding his own whilst auto rental companies the dependable Teevee friendly cast fire a volley of sub Talbot Rothwell Carry On gags at all and sundry.
