Orders Is Orders is a 1933 British comedy film[1] starring Charlotte Greenwood, James Gleason and Cyril Maude about an American film crew who move into a British army barracks to start making a film, much to the commander's horror. Much of the film concerns the interaction between the American crew and the British officers.[2][3] It is based upon the 1932 play Orders Are Orders by Ian Hay and Anthony Armstrong. It was shot at the Lime Grove Studios in London with sets designed by the art director Alfred Junge.
It was remade in 1954 as Orders Are Orders starring Peter Sellers, Sid James and Tony Hancock.
