John Lennon in How I Won the War - on Blu-ray 20 May | BFI

John Lennon stars in Richard Lester’s cult comedy, available on Blu-ray for the first time in the UK from 20 May Subscribe: Hapless British commander Lieutenant Goodbody (Michael Crawford) enthusiastically leads his troops on a series of debacles on the battlefields of World War Two – including the calamitous installation of a cricket pitch behind enemy lines... Featuring John Lennon in his only non-musical screen performance, How I Won the War is a biting satire not just on war, but also the concept of the war movie. A surreal farce fantastically brought to life by Richard Lester’s stylised direction, it remains a unique and innovative cult comedy, which is presented here on Blu-ray for the very first time in the UK.
