In this unique and outrageous period comedy adapted from George MacDonald Fraser’s novel, Malcolm McDowell stars as a comic character come to life.
It is 19th Century Europe and Captain Harry Flashman (McDowell) is a gutless bully who seeks admission into European high society. Seeing a chance to
promote their own menacing political schemes devious Otto von Bismarck (Oliver Reed) and Rudi Von Sternberg (Alan Bates) convince Flashman to disguise
himself as a Prussian noble so that he can marry a gorgeous duchess (Britt Ekland). However, the hoax is discovered, and Flashman flees the continent,
experiencing one calamity after another – as well as some of history’s most significant events – in this hilarious romp that might just make you laugh instead of
marvel at the next comic book “hero” you encounter!
