It was not released in America until 1965 where it was retitled Operation Snafu for cinema release and Operation Warhead and to play off Sean Connery s popularity at the time. Comedian Alan King comedian Alan King filmed his sequences in one day and was mystified when friends told him he was starring in a movie with Sean Connery. Critical reception Reviewing the film following its 1965 release in the United States the New York Times described it as familiar and trifling, but it s perky . It observed that The wonder is that a picture with a story already done, gag by gag, a hundred times is so easy to take. It is, though flip, friendly, brisk and a wee bit cynical in its take it or leave it jauntiness . It noted that the release in the United States was an obvious cash in on Connery s subsequent popularity as James Bond . ref http movies.nytimes.com movie review?res 9A07E0D8123CE733A25751C2A9639C946491D6CF ref Cast Alfred Lynch Horace Pope Sean Connery Pedlar Pascoe Cecil Parker Group Captain Bascombe Stanley Holloway Cooksley Alan King comedian Alan King Sergeant Buzzer Eric Barker Doctor Wilfrid Hyde White Trowbridge Kathleen Harrison Mrs Cooksley Eleanor Summerfield Flora McNaughton Terence Longdon Air Gunner Victor Maddern First ... more details

The cornstalk fiddle is a type of bowed string instrument native to North America. The instrument consists of a cornstalk , with slits cut into the shaft to allow one or more fibrous sections to separate from the main body and serve as strings. Pieces of wood or other material are wedged under the strings before they rejoin the body to serve as a nut and bridge. The fiddle can be bowed with a bow made from another cornstalk, made from a shoelace or other piece of string, or with a standard violin bow. The instrument is attested as far back as the American Civil War or further. ref Mary A.

The Fella with the Fiddle is a Merrie Melodies cartoon short released in 1937 in film 1937 , with a theme song written by Charlie Abbott. Plot summary J. Field Mouse tells his grandchildren the story of a mouse whose greed and dishonesty became his undoing. Feigning blindness and playing the fiddle, he collects enough money to live an opulent lifestyle. His home, marked by a shabby exterior, turns out to be a mansion where he lives it up with his riches. All the fiddler s luxury is in jeopardy when the tax assessor knocks on the door. The fiddler hurriedly presses a series of buttons to hide his opulence and make his home look like a hovel. He succeeds in confusing the tax assessor to the point that he flees in frustration, but an eavesdropping cat plays on the fiddler s greed and lures him into his jaws by placing a gold coin there. And that, says J. Field Mouse to his grandchildren, was the end of the greedy mouse. But one of his grandchildren notices a gold cat s? tooth hanging on display and realizes that things weren t quite what they seem.

The fiddle game is a confidence tricks confidence trick , involving two men. The first enters a restaurant, dressed poorly and carrying a violin , and asks to be seated. He eats his meal, then contrives a reason to leave typically he is short a little money, but this could be any of a variety of reasons, as long as it allows for a swift return for payment . No host would allow him to do so, but as insurance he offers his violin, praising its sentimental value and emphasizing its necessary return. An agreement is reached the man leaves. His partner then approaches the host, requesting to inspect the instrument. Doing so, he makes much ado about its hidden value, revealing it to be a lost masterpiece. He offers a large sum for it, but cannot wait for its owner to return he leaves his card with the host and ask that he pass it along. This con, as many do, relies on the inherent dishonesty of the confidence trick mark . An honest mark, upon the first man s return, will hand over both card and instrument, leaving the partners out the cost of two dinners, but still in possession of the violin. The other response, and the one the con artist s hope for, is the dishonest man s. With the return of the first man, the mark will attempt to purchase the violin, banking on making a quick profit with the number of the collector. The first man parts with the violin, but very reluctantly, driving up the amount the mark is willing to pay. At the end, the partners split whatever the mark paid them for the violin the mark is left with a cheap wooden toy and a bogus business number.
