What happens
The Square Peg is a 1958 British war comedy film directed by John Paddy Carstairs and starring Norman Wisdom. Norman Wisdom plays two different characters: a man who digs and repairs roads, and a Nazi general. It was the last of six collaborations between Norman Wisdom and director John Paddy Carstairs. Producer Hugh Stewart, who made several films with Wisdom, argued this was the actor's best movie, along with On the Beat and A Stitch in Time. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
