Private's Progress plot and story overview
At its core, Private's Progress follows a story that unfolds like this: Stanley Windrush has to interrupt his university education when he is called up towards the end of the war. He quickly proves himself not to be officer material, but befriends wily Private Percival Cox who knows exactly how all the scams work in the confused world of the British Army. And Stanley's brigadier War Office uncle seems to be up to something more than a bit shady too - and they are both soon working for him, behind the enemy lines.
Rather than rushing, the film lets tension build naturally, trusting the audience to keep up. The tagline — "The film that is respectfully dedicated to all those who got away with it !" — captures that tone perfectly.
