Review

  • As long as you have this movie on tape, where you can rewind through some of the long, boring war-talk parts, you'll enjoy this movie. James Garner plays a cowardice army man (so what is he doing in the army?) who doesn't ever want to see fighting but uses his position to meet and woo women. Emily Barnham is (Julie Andrews at her prettiest) is his girlfriend, attracted to Charlie (Garner) because she believes that he really can pull off not being caught in World War II. What would make the movie interesting unless Garner went to war? So of course Emily's torn to bits, one of Julie's finest screen moments. I suppose a 7/10 was fair, only because I got bored in a few places. It's definitely worth seeing though, especially if you're a Garner or Andrews fan.
