Oh! What a Lovely War (1969) DVD Region 2

A bold and unconventional musical satire that captures the tragedy and absurdity of the First World War.

Some items on Kate's Treasures15 are chosen because they are beautiful or useful. Some are here because they meant something to my dad. He was an actor, a scriptwriter, and someone who understood performance and storytelling from the inside. This is one of those pieces.

Directed by Richard Attenborough, this adaptation of the stage musical brings together an extraordinary ensemble cast to explore the First World War through song, satire, and stark contrast.

Mixing humour with sobering reality, the film uses theatrical staging and period music to highlight the human cost of war in a way that is both engaging and deeply affecting.

It is distinctive, memorable, and unlike anything else from its time.
