Interpreti e personaggi

Oh, che bella guerra! (Oh! What a Lovely War) è un film musicale del 1969 diretto da Richard Attenborough, al suo debutto come regista. La pellicola è basata sullo spettacolo teatrale omonimo del 1963 di Gerry Raffles e Joan Littlewood, a sua volta tratto dalla commedia radiofonica The Long Long Trail di Charles Chilton, del dicembre 1961.

Nel cast, particolarmente ricco, figurano: Maggie Smith, Dirk Bogarde, John Gielgud, John Mills, Kenneth More, Laurence Olivier, Jack Hawkins, Corin Redgrave, Michael Redgrave, Vanessa Redgrave, Ralph Richardson, Ian Holm, Paul Shelley, Malcolm McFee, Jean-Pierre Cassel, Nanette Newman, Edward Fox, Susannah York, John Clements e Phyllis Calvert.

Il titolo è dato dalla canzone Oh! It's a Lovely War, che compare nella colonna sonora del film.

Il film intende ripercorrere la storia della prima guerra mondiale, usando le canzoni popolari del tempo, molte delle quali riprendevano o parodiavano temi musicali popolari precedenti.
