All the Queen’s Men

Synopsis:

A mismatched team of British Special Services agents led by an American must infiltrate, in disguise, a female-run Enigma factory in Berlin and bring back the decoding device that will end the war.

Quick Thoughts:

I’ll be frank – it’s a tad difficult to find “All The Queen’s Men” anymore, unless you buy a used DVD. And perhaps in some ways, that’s a good thing. You see, the point of the film is for straight soldiers to pretend to be women in order to infiltrate and obtain secret information. Sure, the film stars Eddie Izzard, a gender-fluid and trans icon. But honestly, her inclusion doesn’t really help make the film better from a queer angle. Matt LeBlanc plays our heroic alpha male sent to save the day, with the rest of the cast falls into rather stereotypical character roles. However as a war film that’s also got a bit of comedy – it’s not horrible. But I do feel that this is a queer war film that you will either enjoy – or hate. If you happen to find yourself a copy, let me know what you think!.
