It’s a Grand Life – 1953 | 102 mins | Comedy | B&W
Plot Synopsis

Lancashire music-hall comedian Frank Randle’s parochial film career belched out its lecherous last gasp with this dated comedy about a young man’s escapades at an Army Training Camp. Naturally,there’s leering jokes and slapstick. And for this one, young glamour girls Diana Dors and Jennifer Jayne contributed their curvy presences.
Military misfit Private Randle (Frank Randle) attempts to save attractive Corporal Paula Clements (Diana Dors) from the amorous intentions of Sergeant-Major O’Reilly (Michael Brennan) and steer her towards the path of true love with Private Green (John Blythe).
