"One of the Old Sam series pleasantly coloured by the Dunning process, with
amusing Yorkshire dialect commentary by Stanley Holloway in the story of the private who
defies Napoleon when asked to beat the retreat. The animation is very good, and the gags
amusing, resulting in engaging entertainment of the type."
