Up the Front	comment	Up the Front is a 1972 film and the third/final film spin-off of Up Pompeii. It stars Frankie Howerd, Hermoine Baddeley, Robert Coote, Bill Fraser, Lance Percival, Dora Bryan, Peter Bull, Jonathan Cecil, Percy Herbert, William Mervyn, Madeline Smith, Stanley Holloway, and Zsa Zsa Gabor.Lurk (Howerd) is one of the servants of Lord and Lady Twithampton (Mervyn and Linda Gray) and Captain Nigel Phipps-Fortescue (Cecil). He is the lowliest of all the servants and a terrible coward. While his heart lies with the Maid, Fanny (Smith), he has no chance of getting to her while the butler, Groping (Fraser), has his eye (and hands) on her.When World War I breaks out, Captain Nigel and Groping go off to fight, but Lurk is happy enough to stay at home until he hypnotised to want to defend by the Great Vincento (Holloway). Once in a trance, Auntie Cora Crumpington (Bryan) gets him to enlist in the army and he travels to the Western Front as a Private under the command of Groping, now a Sergeant Major, and Corporal Lovechild (Herbert).After a mix-up causes him to accidentally enter Madame Monique's (Baddeley) brothel mistaking it for the Medical Officer's residence, Groping sends Lurk to No Man's Land, where he ends up in possession of the German's master plan after Captain Nigel steals it from under the noses of General von Kobler (Bull), Colonel von Gutz (Percival), and Captain Hamburger (Ingo Mogendorf). Once Lurk and Captain Nigel return to their base, it has been invaded by the Germans, so Captain Nigel has to have it tattooed onto Lurk's rear end, causing German intelligence to pursue Lurk across France.Once inside the British military's headquarters, the German spy Mata Hari (Gabor) tries to get the plans back from Lurk before he can give them to General Burke (Coote), while he is pursued by Colonel von Gutz and his henchmen, Donner (Gertan Klauber) and Blitzen (Stanley Lebor), as Hilarity Ensues.
