Soft Beds, Hard Battles is a 1974 British comedy film directed by Roy Boulting, and starring Peter Sellers in several roles, and an all star cast, including Curd Jurgens, Lila Kedrova and Jenny Hanley. Sellers reunited with the Boulting brothers for this farce in which a brothel full of ladies helps the war effort by ridding the world of Nazi peril - in the bedroom. The film took a limited release: in the United States, it was released under the title Undercovers Hero.
Set in Nazi-occupied France, the story follows Major Robinson of the British Army. Installing himself at a Parisian brothel, he assists the French resistance and works with Madame Grenier and her girls who find themselves eliminating high ranking German officers (using ingenious rigged beds and killer flatulence pills) right under the nose of the Gestapo. The girls find themselves enlisted in the Free French Forces and finally foil Hitler's plan to blow up Paris. They later receive medals from the French president.
