When confronted with a talking mule, the picture's Army men do a double-take. Francis' feat of standing at attention with his tail pointing straight up inspires the same reaction. Situations like these are faintly amusing the first time; they are tiring when repeated every few minutes. Francis' superior intelligence marks him as a natural leader, but his rise is mulishly slow and painfully drawn...
