The Mouse That Roared (1959 film)
Has anyone here seen this movie?
It's a comedy starring Peter Sellers and is about a country that decides that the only way to get out of their economic woes is to declare war on the United States, lose and accept foreign aid.
Vampyr/Dimension X?

I've seen it many times. Peter Sellers is very funny (in multiple roles), and Jean Seberg is very cute.

This film must really be something, because this is the second thread about it in a week.

It's a funny, funny movie that was a major art-house hit in its day, with some outrageous humor. The small Duchy of Fenwick, seeing the bountiful generosity that the U.S. is heaping on its former enemies, decides to "attack" the United States, be defeated, and then immediately surrender. But when they "invade" New York (with about a dozen "soldiers") it doesn't go quite as planned. A real classic!

Yes, I have seen it. It's a very funny movie (based on a wonderful little book by Leonard Wibberley). Sadly, I haven't seen it in several years. Man, I miss the days when cable channels showed movies at night instead of infomercials.
