Cuckoo Patrol on AllMovie

Freddie and the Dreamers--remember them?--star in the British musical quickie Cuckoo Patrol. Apparently hoping to cash in on the Beatles' success with A Hard Day's Night, the producers place Freddie and his aggregation in as many "wacky," stream-of-consciousness situations as possible. The main plot has something to do with a group of Boy Scouts. Freddie and the Dreamers disguise themselves in scout uniforms, inexplicably getting away with their subterfuge. Veteran British farceurs Kenneth Connor, Victor Maddern and John Le Mesurier provide acting relief.
