------------

!Tropes for the film:
* CharacterTitle: ''The Secret War of Harry Frigg''.
* GildedCage: Five Allied [[TheBrigadier Brigadier Generals]] are captured by the Italians and confined to a pleasant Italian villa. As it appears that they have become comfortable with their captivity [[note]]in fact, because they are all of the same rank, they are forced to vote on what escape plan to take, but since everyone votes for himself, a plan is never selected.[[/note]], HQ grabs a. private known for his escape antics, promotes him to Major General so he can order them around, then sends him to get them all out.
* GreatEscape: When several Allied Brigadier Generals are captured by the Italians during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, the Americans take their best escape artist: ''Private'' Harry Frigg - he's escaped from pretty much every military stockade they have - promote him to Major General, so he'll outrank all the others, and arrange for him to be captured in the same region so he'll be sent to the same prison to break the other generals out.
* OutrankingYourJob: Five Allied Brigadier generals are captured by the Italian Army. None of the generals can command the others and so every escape plan is a stalemate. Allied high command sends Harry Frigg, an escape artist, to rescue them, and that they must promote him from private to major general so that he can actually give orders to the [=POWs=].
* {{Tagline}}: "There are 5 generals inside...and one Private outside...the problem was to get the 5 Generals inside outside...and avoid getting waylaid by a beautiful countess!".
