Love And Death (PG)

Plot
Diminutive Russian peasant Boris is dragged, much against his better judgement, into the throes of history. With his none-too-committed lady-love Sonja by his side (some of the time) he offered the opportunity to assassinate the great but not-so-tall invader Napoleon Bonaparte. However, his existential angst about the nature of love and death may get in the way.

Verdict
One of the 'early funny ones' this has a high gag count and is a favourite of most Woody fans.
