Mr. Winkle Goes to War

Edward G. Robinson goes against type in this delightful comedy as a middle-aged, mild-mannered soul browbeaten by his wife (Ruth Warrick) for leaving his bank job and opening up his own fix-it shop. Fate intervenes with the unexpected arrival of a draft notice; he defies the odds by passing basic, gets sent overseas, and becomes a hero under the most unusual of circumstances. Robert Armstrong, Richard Lane co-star; keep an eye out for Robert Mitchum. 80 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
