| Overview: |
|
Lots of brave Allied soldiers went to war wearing the uniform of their country and carrying a rifle. Steven O'Rourke went to war wearing a prim skirt, sensible shoes and carrying a dignified but practical handbag.
Humor mixes with heroics when Latt LeBlanc portrays O'Rourke, leader of a squad of misfits schooled in poise, posture, and, uh, femininity. Their mission: infiltrate that all-female Berlin factory that makes the Enigma code machine and pilfer one. Easier said than done, what with amorous enemy troops, Allied bombings and O'Rourke falling head over heels for a fetching resistance fighter. Heads up, shoulders back, boys. You just might win this scrap.
WWII spy comedy. An American army officer (Matt LeBlanc) leads a mismatched team of British Special Services who must go in disguise as women and infiltrate a female-run Enigma factory in Berlin and bring back the decoding device that will end the war. The team, with the exception of one member who happens to be a drag performer (Eddie Izzard), must learn the basic skills for completing their mission, like walking in heels and applying lipstick. The American and his team stumble through the German factory in full drag, barely escaping the clutches of German soldiers, while attempting to complete the most important mission of their lives.
Matt LeBlanc (of the television series FRIENDS) stars in this WWII spy comedy as American Officer Steven O'Rourke, nicknamed "Agent Almost" because he can never successfully complete a mission. Stationed in England after another botched mission, O'Rourke is given one last "do or die" assignment to redeem himself. He and his mismatched platoon members must parachute into Berlin, infiltrate an all-female factory where they are producing the Nazi Enigma code machine, and successfully steal the elusive machine. With the help of Tony Parker (Eddie Izzard), a British soldier who also happens to be a drag performer, O'Rourke and his fellow soldiers (David Birkin and James Cosmo) learn the basic skills for completing their mission, like walking in heels and applying lipstick. O'Rourke and his men stumble through the German factory in full drag, barely escaping the clutches of German soldiers, while attempting to complete the most important mission of their lives. Based on the true story of the Enigma code machine, recently dramatized in films like ENIGMA and U-571, ALL THE QUEEN'S MEN is a brazen combination of slapstick humor and wartime espionage action. |
