Amout The Film
On September 5, 1966, John Lennon headed to Almeria, Spain to star in Richard Lester's 1967 British black comedy How I Won the War, marking his first non-musical acting role.
Based on Patrick Ryan's 1963 book of the same name, the docu-drama-style film followed the mishap pence of a troop of soldiers, the 4th Musketeers during WWII. Fitted in glasses, which would become his signature look, Lennon stars as Gripweed, alongside Michael Crawford (Lieutenant Goobody), Roy Kinnear (Clapper), and Lee Montague as the corporal.
