And One Could Do Worse than Lose a War to the USA as Grand Fenwick Planned....

Consider the gentle Tully Bascomb (Sellers), a soldier from Mouse's fictional European backwater burg, Grand Fenwick. Fenwick has one export, wine, whose value is significantly downgraded when a California winery puts out a copycat product. And so, Fenwick declares war on the United States. That design is the brainchild of the devious Count Mountjoy (Sellers again) and the Grand Duchess Gloriana (who else? Sellers), who figure that after a swift defeat, Grand Fenwick will begin to cash in the type of reconstruction that built Europe back up after WWII. Like Sellers' Mandrake in Strangelove, Bascomb is the peacenik innocent who gets caught up in a ludicrous geopolitical nightmare.

1959 Kubrick film, The Mouse That Roared. Definitely worth seeing.
