If you really really like the single joke in the film (i.e., a soldier stumbles into an insane asylum and is proclaimed their king), then you'll no doubt think this film is brilliant. My problem is that I kept waiting for MORE. But, the only thing I got was a rather bland film apart from his dealings with the inmates. In fact, the film really looked much like the Richard Lester film How I Won the War (1967)--another spoof of war that just didn't seem very funny to me either. I think the same material could have been handled much better with perhaps a more Monty Python approach (as was first brought up by muscoe from California) or perhaps by giving it the Peter Sellers touch--anything to make it more than a single joke film.
I just thought it was tiresome and wonder if maybe those who made the movie were perhaps using drugs that made them THINK it was so !@&%!# funny--after all, it was made in the 1960s.
