Carry On, Sergeant! review

One of Canada's earliest feature-length movies, Carry On, Sergeant! spreads itself so thin that it fails to create anything but the sketchiest of personalities. At least its appearance some years after the end of WWI, and just a few before censorship was tightened, means that it's not just a blindly patriotic flag-waver. While the emotional torture of its lead character leads to a believable conclusion, most of the film's good stuff is undone by a comic sidekick who is painful beyond belief.
