You Can't Win 'Em All is a 1970 war film, written by Leo Gordon (also an actor who appears in the film) and directed by Peter Collinson, starring Tony Curtis and Charles Bronson as two American soldiers in 1922 Turkey who protect the three daughters of a Turkish governor while thwarting an Turkish army colonel's attempt to take gold on a train the two soldiers happen to be on. The setting is the time of the Greco-Turkish War (1919–1922).
Aircraft sequences were flown and coordinated by Charles Boddington and Louis Benjamin. The aircraft were owned by ex-RCAF pilot Lynn Garrison who shipped several of his SE-5 replicas from Ireland to Turkey for the production. They had previously featured in The Blue Max and Darling Lili and would go on to star in Von Richthofen and Brown, Zeppelin, The Great Waldo Pepper, and numerous TV commercials.
