Operation Bullshine

Operation Bullshine is a 1959 British colour comedy film directed by Gilbert Gunn and starring Donald Sinden, Barbara Murray and Carole Lesley.

The new title, based on an American euphemism for a very British word with the same meaning (bullshite), comes from the frenzied activity preparing for their brigadier's surprise inspection.

During World War II, a Royal Artillery officer is assigned to an anti-aircraft battery that is filled with female soldiers of the Auxiliary Territorial Service.

His wife who has enlisted is mistakenly posted to the battery in violation of regulations of husbands and wives serving together in the same formation.

Donald Sinden wrote in his memoirs: A rather good comedy script on the subject of the ATS, with the ambiguous title of Girls in Arms, was my next assignment.
