A musical comedy starring Danny Kaye as Ernie Williams, a G.I. with weak eyes, a weak stomach and weak nerves but an uncanny resemblance to British Colonel MacKenzie.

On the Double Film Synopsis

American GI Ernie Williams, admittedly weak-kneed, has an uncanny resemblance to British Colonel MacKenzie. Williams, also a master of imitation and disguise, is asked to impersonate the Colonel, ostensibly to allow the Colonel to make a secret trip East. What Williams is not told is that the Colonel has recently been a target of assassins. After the Colonel's plane goes down, the plan changes and Williams maintains the disguise to confuse the Nazis about D-Day.

England 1944: US-Soldat Ernie sieht einem britischen General zum Verwechseln ähnlich. Als deutsche Agenten hinter dem Offizier her sind6 soll Ernie dessen Rolle übernehmen. Prompt wird er von den Nazis nach Berlin entführt.

Français
Ernie Williams, un soldat de première classe, ne parvient pas à s'habituer au règlement militaire. Juste avant le Débarquement allié, il s'échappe d'un campement. Repris, on lui propose de devenir la doublure d'un général dont la vie est menacée par des agents nazis. Contraint et forcé, il accepte de se plier au jeu. La femme du général, malheureuse dans son ménage, survient à l'improviste et finit par voir d'un bon oeil ce nouvel époux tombé du ciel. Les nazis parviennent cependant à enlever Ernie et l'emmènent à Berlin où la Gestapo l'interroge. Ernie leur fournit des informations fausses et prépare son évasion. Mais ses gardes sont aux aguets...

Português
Na época da Invasão da Normandia, um soldado americano é chamado a representar um coronel britânico para confundir os espiões e assassinos nazistas em Londres. O soldado americano Ernie Williams, reconhecidamente um molenga, tem uma estranha semelhança com o coronel britânico MacKenzie. Williams, também um mestre de imitação e disfarce, é convocado para representar o Coronel, aparentemente para permitir que o Coronel faça uma viagem secreta para o Oriente. O que não é contado para Williams é que o coronel recentemente foi alvo de assassinos. Depois que o avião do Coronel pousa no oriente, o plano muda e Williams mantém o disfarce para confundir os nazistas até o dia D.

Español
El soldado Ernie Williams tiene un asombroso parecido con el general MacKenzie-Smith, lo cual le lleva a hacer algunas parodias ante sus camaradas que no pasan desapercibidas para el alto mando. Estando amenazado de muerte el general, la idea de los jefes del ejército es la de hacer pasar al pobre Ernie por general y así preservar al verdadero. Ernie se las debe ingeniar para salvar el pellejo, lo cual le lleva a situaciones de gran comicidad.

Living It Up summary, synopsis, reviews
Living It UpClassics1954

The 1954 Martin-and-Lewis romp Living It Up is an amusing remake of the 1937 comedy classic Nothing Sacred. The heroine of the original undergoes a sex change to become feckless Homer Flagg (Jerry Lewis), who is led to believe that he's dying of radiation poisoning. Manhattan newspaperwoman Wally Cook (Janet Leigh), hoping to improve circulation of her paper, convinces her boss, Oliver Stone (Fred Clark), to fete Homer as a hero with an all-expenses-paid trip to the Big Apple. Meanwhile, Homer learns from local doctor Steve (Dean Martin) that he isn't dying at all. But Steve talks Homer into taking advantage of the celebrity treatment bestowed on him by Wally, and a good time is had by all — until medical specialist Dr. Egelhofer (Sig Rumann) insists upon examining Homer. Highlights include a hilarious bit at Yankee Stadium, and an energetic jitterbug number featuring Jerry Lewis and Sheree North.

Riding High summary, synopsis, reviews
Riding HighClassics1943

Broadway Bill? "He's the mostest horse we ever did have!" says his handler. He's a lot of movie, too. So much that in 1950, Frank Capra teamed with stars Bing Crosby and Coleen Gray for Riding High, a lively remake of Capra's 1934 gem, Broadway Bill. Der Bingle's fondness for the racetrack is evident throughout this story of a man who abandons the mansion for the stable. And the songs attest to the film's unbridled spirit. There's no need for an address, three square meals a day or lick when you can stay "Someplace On Anywhere Road," bake a "Sunshine Cake" or bet the nest egg on what "The Horse Told Me." Many of the 1934 stars reprise their roles here, and Oliver Hardy (minus sidekick Stan Laurel) has a memorable bit as a railbird desperate for a winner.
