Sky advertise this film wrongly - its not the US army that are being robbed, but a British Unit, stationed in West Sussex in the late 195Os/early 60s. the film I understand was shot at what is now HMP Ford, a former military base from ww2 and national service days pre 1963. Anybody who served in the Army in this period will clearly remember the signs - uniforms, NAFFI, Cookhouse (ACC) transport RE REME & RASC and the strict chain of command very evident. This is the working British Army of the day at its best !
