John Lennon stars in his only non-Beatles theatrical performance in How I Won The War, which is now available in DVD through MGM’s Limited Edition Collection and has been remastered under the supervision of director Richard Lester.
Originally released in 1967, the film stars Michael Crawford as inept British WWII commander Lieutenant Earnest Boodbody, with Musketeer Gripweed (John Lennon), Musketeer Juniper (Jack MacGowran), Musketeer Clapper (Roy Kinnear) and Sergeant Transom (Lee Montague) under his command. The film features a hilariously surreal collage of battle footage and one-liners lampooning the absurdity of war.
This is a must have for fans of the singer and the release includes an introductory letter for the book giving insight to John’s experience on the film written by Yoko Ono and includes for a limited time only a special edition commemorative Booklet that will be included with each purchase featuring behind the scenes stills from the film of John.
After the jump, check out some clips of the film, which is now available through Amazon and other internet retailers.
