Great yarn for kids, or at least it was at one time....! I remember watching these CFF films as a kid around the late 60's and I still enjoyed watching it again.... I remember the excitement with wanting the film to end (Whilst still wanting to see the end!) so we could get out and do similar japes.... Go kart made from pram wheels and orange boxes and playing around bombed out buildings and wasteland... and even then still playing around wreckage of the odd German plane in some of the woods .... making camps and playing the heroes!
It was also good to watch adult actors in these CFF films that your parents would know from the movies they watched.... so looking back I never saw these movies as 'cheap' or 'half done' because of the target audience, indeed the quality was equal to the older audience films of the day.... and anyone from a later generation watching these should remember that this is just how kids were back then and we loved it.... ! Penny for the guy..? Though I don't think any kids today would know that we once celebrated November 5th in the way we see here.... Halloween never existed as we see it today and it was November 5th that was the big Bonfire Night... when we would set fire to our guys on the local field or park and watch the fireworks with sparklers.... back then we could buy fireworks or a lot of them ourselves....! I still think kids back then were more mature than we see today.... even though some say kids grow up quickly today I don't think they are as well educated or mature as the kids back then.... but this film is a great adventure from a long gone era...!
