    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The theme song of the film, from which the title was taken, is a British Army song from 1916, known as "Bless 'em All". This title however, is from the sanitized commercial version first recorded in 1940 by George Formby. The lyrics were originally "Fuck 'em All", the version still sung in the British Army to this day.
    • Goofs
      In the hut the soldiers' clothes become dry very quickly. Even when Laurence Harvey is wringing his shirt to get the water out, the rest of his clothes are dry. In the jungle during the rainy season, clothes would take hours if not days to dry out.
