re: Privates on Parade

This confusing film was painful to endure. 
It couldn't decide whether to be a farce or a tragedy.
John Cleese had a few bright moments of physical comedy,
but Charlie Chaplin couldn't have saved this bomb.
Don't see it even if I they *pay* you $4.50!

P.S.:

(I feel compelled to say something kind about the movie, so here it is:)

Perhaps it was full of humour that was understandable
only to Britons.   It sure confused us four Americans!
