The Secret War of Harry Frigg

Starring Paul Newman in one of his rare comedy roles, The Secret War of Harry Frigg tells the story of a good-for-nothing goldbrick whose only talent is escaping from the Army stockade. Sent behind enemy lines to free five Allied generals held prisoner in an Italian villa, Harry Frigg (Newman), hardly the dedicated type, becomes sidetracked from his zany mission by a sexy Italian Contessa. He finally uses his talent to escape, and his new rank of Major General to create havoc in this wild, wacky and brilliantly satirical tale of World War II.
