Our Miss Fred
DANNY LA RUE has a secret weapon to win the war in his first film!
Overview
Danny La Rue stars in this 1970s drag comedy as Fred Wimbush, a Shakespearean actor who is drafted into WWII and is appearing in a camp show in France when the Nazis advance. Unless he continues in his female costume, Fred is certain to be shot as a spy. The risque gags and double entendres fly as he attempts to make his escape in the company of a troupe of Girl Guides.

La Rue was the UK's pre-eminent drag artist of the era and this was his only movie. This is a farce set in France in the early days of World War 2, as Germany invades and soldier La Rue, a third-rate music hall performer before being drafted, finds himself separated from his unit, in full female attire. He finds refuge in a girl's school (with only 5 pupils!) headed by mannish Bowers and her assistant de la Tour, channelling Joyce Grenfell, and keeps up his disguise. Plenty of double entendres…

Hmmm. Unfortunately, here, Danny La Rue just never convinces at the Shakespearian actor "Fred Wimbush" in the first place and so for me this quickly descends into an hybrid of "La Grande Vadrouille" (1966) and a "Carry On" film - and not a very funny one, either. He and his troupe are out entertaining the troops when they falls into Nazi hands. Thinking "Fred" is a woman, they let her go - only for her to focus her efforts on rescuing her squad and making it to safety. The stereotypes run rampan…
