s this film follows a rather formulaic trail... The one thing that does differentiate it is ... singing... Yep, Wayne's gang are quite happy to sit by the side of the road and burst into song just before, or after, they engage in their good deeds. Luckily, we don't get this too often - not because it is so very bad, but because it really slows the pace down as surely as an ad break would. Plenty of fun fisticuffs but essentially just one for fans of the Duke, otherwise instantly forgettable fayre.
