The Square Peg

British clown prince Norman Wisdom stars as Norman Pitkin, a World War II-era road repairman who gets recruited by the army and dispatched to France, where he accidentally ventures behind enemy lines. After being picked up by the Resistance, Norman spearheads an effort to rescue British POWs from German custody, which lands him in an improbable solo battle against the German army -- with high jinks as his weapon of choice.
