도널드 캠멜과 공동으로 연출한 로그의 감독 데뷔작으로 본인이 촬영을 맡았다. 60년 말 런던을 배경으로 조직의 위협을 피해 록스타 터너(믹 재거)의 집에 숨은 악당 채스(제임스 폭스)가 겪는 기이한 이야기로 1967년 완성되었으나 난해하고 퇴폐적인 내용 때문에 영화사 창고에 쳐 박혀 있다 1970년 개봉되었다. 1960년대 섹스, 마약, 록큰롤 음악의 히피문화를 조롱하는 이 영화는 제임스 폭스의 뛰어난 연기와 더불어 섹스와 마약에 찌든 록스타 터너, 믹 재거- 마흔 살이 되었을 때도 매혹적이었던 - 의 퍼포먼스를 보는 즐거움이 크다. (한국영상자료원 - 니콜라스 뢰그 감독전)
Satire about the First World War based on a stage musical of the same name, portraying the "Game of War" and focusing mainly on the members of one family (last name Smith) who go off to war. Much of the action in the movie revolves around the words of the marching songs of the soldiers, and many scenes portray some of the more famous (and infamous) incidents of the war, including the assassination of Duke Ferdinand, the Christmas meeting between British and German soldiers in no-mans-land, and the wiping out by their own side of a force of Irish soldiers newly arrived at the front, after successfully capturing a ridge that had been contested for some time.
"In Jan Carew’s explosive drama, Sammy Davis Jr gives a memorable performance as a proud but disillusioned revolutionary who aims to destroy the remnants of white colonial rule in a new African nation. The political themes explored remain incredibly prescient." - BFI
