Entertaining but ultimately not really special film about the fortunes of a British army post in Africa. After the colony claims its independence, Sergeant Major Lauderdale (Richard Attenborough) must protect the people around him. Attenborough is hilarious in the overweight, initially rather ridiculous but ultimately sympathetic leading role. Visually it doesn't mean much, since the film was shot almost entirely in the British Pinewood studios and there is therefore little to no African local color.
