Get Cracking

George joins the Home Guard and saves the day with his secret weapon!

Directed by Marcel Varnel, this 1943 British comedy stars George Formby as mechanic and Home Guard Lance Corporal George Singleton, whose rivalry with another Home Guard member (Ronald Shiner) fuels the story. When rival units led by Major Wallop and Minor Wallop conduct battle maneuvers, Singleton attempts a commando-style raid to steal a Vickers machine gun. The raid fails, costing him his stripe, so he and evacuee girl Irene (Vera Frances) pursue 'Plan B': building their own tank.
