In WW2, captured British soldier Stephen Brooks is on a prison train to Germany.On the train he meets an American prisoner, Packy, who's obsessed with escaping.Brooks tries to temper Packy and reminds him that escaped prisoners are shot if recaptured.Packy is insistent despite Brooks' warnings. On arrival at the POW camp Stalag 7A, Brooks and other fellow POWs are sent to work at the local Munich zoo, to care for the animals.Brooks is assigned to care for Lucy the elephant.The German caretaker in charge of Lucy is asked to train Brooks in his new job.At first, Brooks hates the assignment, considering the large amount of animal waste to be cleaned daily.However, he eventually becomes attached to Lucy the elephant.After a devastating bombing raid that kills some of the animals and zoo staff it is decided to evacuate the surviving animals.Lucy is scheduled to be transported by train to Innsbruck, Austria.On the departure day, the train is commandeered by a moody SS Colonel, for his troops.The colonel jokes that Brooks can walk the elephant all the way to Austria, if he wishes.The joke gives Brooks the idea of walking the elephant to Austria, with two armed guards and a Polish maid as cook.The Munich Zoo director, worried for Lucy's safety, agrees to evacuate her and send her to Austria on foot.Two soldiers provide the armed guard.One is Willy,a friendly Austrian soldier, and the other is Kurt,a brutal German soldier who gets drunk often, insults everyone and threatens to shoot the elephant.The group leaves Munich on a sunny day but the voyage to Austria isn't a promenade in the park when they start running into trouble.

| User ReviewPaul DSO FUNNY! Classic Michael Winner/Oliver Reed combo. The silliest, campest war movie ever, but funny, silly, touching and Michael J. Pollard steals the show. |
| User ReviewRoche FI really rate Michael Winner - and this film shows what Oliver Reed could do if given the right length of rope! An enjoyable, sometimes poignant new take on the war film genre. |
| User ReviewMatthew NMust have watched this about a million times as wee boy with my grandfather...an all time classic |
| User ReviewMarc B"For you tommy, ze vore ist over" Ollie Reed and an elephant - absolute classic |
| User ReviewJulia GI can watch this film over and over again. Oliver Reed is gorgeous! |
| User Reviewpaul sthe least talked about war, comedy, action, romance, etc film ever, one of the very best films of all time |
| User ReviewSteve PGreat WW2 era adventure. Oliver Reed and the rest of the cast are all fantastic. |
| User ReviewVictoria WOliver Reed + Elephant = success! Don't be put off by the idea of a film about the war, there's more to it than that. There are sad and happy moments, all in all, a nice film. |
| User ReviewPrivate UThe best Elephant related World War II film I've seen to date. Good harmless fun (unless you're a Nazi). |
| User ReviewTabitha MI'm not opposed to war movies, but having seen so many there didn't seem to be any room for any originality. As this movie started, I thought it was going to be just another cliche, war movie. How wrong I was! Humour, great writing, and brilliant performances by Oliver Reed and the fellow cast. Enjoyed this film immensely. |
