      "This is a map of all the land we've gained from the enemy."
      "And what is the scale of this map, Darling?"
      "1-1, sir."
      "A what to a what, a yard to a mile?"
      "A yard to a yard."
      "So how much land have we gotten?"
      Darling gets out a roll of tape and measures the scale model.
      "About 10^2 yards."
      "Well that's not much at all, is it?"
      "Well no, but it's got a lot of detail. See look, there's a little worm."

    Much prefer the music hall version. That sounds like regular Tommys singing. This version has the top brass singing about sergeants waking them up and blushing to rude words.
    Almost like the filmmakers totally missed the point.

      Was more talking about the lyrics of the song and how the wrong guys are singing it.
      It's a bit like making a movie of West Side Story. And having the cops sing Officer Krupke.

    • @13thcentury

      Walnut BrosProductions It doesn't realise the irony in the situation, not this version. It plays the the old "brass are detached as the troops get slaughtered" cliche. That isn't the point of the song. It isn't about the top brass, it is about the view of the troops. All the optimism is sarcasm.
      That's the joke. That's the satire. That's the irony the movie makers missed.
      The song is an old music hall song. The song is about army life in the trenches. Playing down the conditions with misplaced optimism. With lyrics like.
      Up to your waist in water,
      Up to your eyes in slush,
      Using the kind of language
      That makes the sergeants blush
      and
      Come to the cook-house door, boys,
      Sniff at the lovely stew,
      Who is it says the colonel
      Gets better grub than you ?
      Any complaints this morning?
      Do we complain ? Not we.
      What's the matter with lumps of onion
      Floating around the tea ?
      So when a movie comes out with the top brass signing about mucking around in the trenches with the good old Tommy... it is lame.
      This really is the cops in West Side Story singing Gee Officer Krupke

      but then there's something quite poetic about missing the point isn't there? Richard Attenborough was a smart guy, and I think he's getting this bit wrong on purpose. You're absolutely right, there is something slightly odd, even insulting about the top brass singing a song about Tommys having a bad time of it. And that's the point. The officers are so detached they don't even think about the lyrics. They just sing and dance to the song because it's fun and catchy.
