Entertainment Reviews:
There's the odd smart individual gag, and the performances (especially Coburn and Shawn), are cheery enough, but the whole is an undisciplined, overstretched mess.

War as fun in this service comedy by director Blake Edwards.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews
What Did You Do in the War, Daddy? carries an engaging title but after dreaming it up the writers promptly forgot all about it and launched into a thinly-devised comedy without much substance.

Rating: 2/5 --
Tasteless shambles of a comedy.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
It is held together by terrific performances, Philip Lathrop's exquisite, pastel-shaded photography, and Blake Edwards' instinct for composition and design, let loose in some pleasantly fantastical images.

Rating: 4/5 --
Cheerfully nihilistic WWII spoof
Las Vegas Review-Journal
Edwards has never been accused of tastefulness; this 1966 effort is typically unrestrained and raucous.

Product Description:
James Coburn stars as Lieutenant Christian in Blake Edwards's whimsical WWII comedy. In Sicily, Allied forces have begun the invasion of Italy. A war-weary company commanded by Captain Cash (Dick Shawn), a stickler for regulations, is assigned to occupy a small town being held by the Italian army. When they arrive during a soccer game, Italian commander Captain Oppo (Sergio Fantoni) requests that the Americans not take take the town until after the soccer game and an important wine festival have concluded in order to preserve their honor. The wily Christian persuades Cash to agree. The Americans and Italians happily join forces for an all-day, all-night bacchanal of wine, women, and song. However, their partying is observed by U.S. and German reconaissance planes who mistake the revelry for streetfighting, and they quickly decide to come to the aid of their respective allies. When the Germans arrive, they find drunken G.I.s in both American and German uniforms and, despite the confusion, begin to round them up. When a fresh American unit arrives, things start to get really interesting.
