On The Fiddle (1961)

Synopsis: Sean Connery was only a year away from becoming an international superstar in Dr No when he took the role of dim-witted gypsy Pedlar Pascoe in this comedy. The soon-to-be James Bond is forced to play second fiddle, as it were, to Alfred Lynch, who stars as a conman inducted into the army.

Adapted from the RF Delderfield novel Stop at a Winner, and known in the States as Operation Snafu, this was presumably meant to be a minor variation on the Bilko theme.

Cast:Alfred Lynch, Sean Connery
Runtime: 96 min (full length version)
