Advance to the Rear is sure to entertain anyone who enjoys comedies that poke fun at Army life. The plot has a Union Cavalry unit of misfits sent on a top-secret mission to the Western territory during the Civil War.

A no-nonsense, sophisticated, wealthy Viennese banker, Baron von Ullrich (Warren William) is so distracted by the sexual charms of his secretary that he decides to fire her so that he can keep his business and his sex life separate. The Baron's new secretary Susie Sachs (Marian Marsh, who after graduating from Hollywood high school actually studied to be a secretary) is, quite literally, hungry for the secretary job. The impoverished girl dressed in frumpy clothes and no make-up is first seen pressing her nose to the restaurant window where the Baron's assistant Ludwig (Charles Butterworth) eats his lunch.
Susie turns out to be a hard worker for the money, toiling with great speed and efficiency. And in a not-unexpected turn of events, the Baron soon finds that maybe sex and stenography do mix. He falls in love with Susie...

The Charge of the Light Brigade (1968) DVD9

1854. England has decided to 'rescue' Turkey from the depredations of Russia, and decides to send an expeditionary force to the Crimea. Unfortunately, except for constant fighting in India, England's home officers haven't seen real action for decades, and there is a backlog of inexperienced noblemen seeking to make their careers before retirement. Most have bought their commissions as well.
A chronicle of the British involvement into the Crimean War between Russia and the Ottoman Empire that led to the ill-fated uphill charge of the Light Brigade cavalry against a waiting, well-armed Russian artillery unit in the valley of Balaclava, the film follows the plights of the battle's key historic figures in the lead up to the confrontation and its inevitable aftermath: Lord Raglan (John Gielgud), the elderly, muddle-headed, incompetent commander and field strategist whose career had been defined by his experience in Waterloo and continues to regard each enemy encounter as a form of indirect engagement against France (despite both countries being on the side of the Ottoman Empire in the war); Lord Cardigan (Trevor Howard), the bombastic, cocksure Major-General who commanded the Light Brigade under reluctant orders from his superior, and estranged brother-in-law, Lord Lucan (Harry Andrews); Captain Nolan (David Hemmings), the enigmatic, battle-anxious, cavalry officer ! who would personally deliver Lord Raglan's fateful orders that would lead to the charge.

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1988) DVD9 + DVD5

It is The Age of Reason. Wednesday. The city is under siege by the Sultan. Attempting to forget their troubles and fears, the populace is packed into a theater, watching a traveling company enact The Adventures of Baron von Munchausen. In the middle of the performance, an elderly man cries out in protest, totters down the aisle and onto the stage, and claims that the play is a travesty; he claims to be the real Baron Munchausen (John Neville), and he's here to stop the players from spreading any more lies. Furthermore, he's the only one who can stop the war with the Sultan—because he's the one who started it. As the baron spins his tale, the lines between tale and truth, play and reality—even life and death—begin to blur, as he travels to the Moon, dances with a goddess, and is swallowed by a sea monster in his quest to save the besieged town. When the dust has finally settled and the Baron has ridden off into the sunset, no one is quite sure what has happened—includ! ing the viewing audience.
