The Mouse That Roared (DVD)

The Mouse That Roared (1959) starring Peter Sellers, Jean Seberg. The Duchy of Grand Fenwick, smallest country in the world, finds itself in financial straits. So what is the solution? Why, declare war on the United States, that's what. Once the war is lost, aid from the U.S. will come pouring in. But trouble arises when the Fenwickian "invasion force" arrives in New York; there is no one to surrender to, because the U.S. is holding an air raid drill. Hilarity ensues. It's nothing spectacular, but it's good, clean, silly fun. Sellers plays three separate roles, as is his wont, and Seberg plays the daughter of the American scientist who is developing the "Q Bomb." The subtitles are very good. Grade: B
