29 Jan Imitation General
Imitation General, WWII Movie starring Glenn Ford
(1958) After he realizes that they are surrounded by Germans a Sergeant imitates a General in order to motivate a small group of soldiers to organize an attack.
This really is a silly movie … not a comedy … just silly.
The best part was Red Buttons as Glenn Ford’s sidekick. This was one of his early movies. He had performed on Broadway before the war. Then after he was drafted he appeared in an Army Air Forces Broadway show.
Watch an original trailer on the Turner Classic Movies website.
