Joe S. @Joesigmund Jan 13 I saw it years ago. One of best Garner movies ever. Acting great. Storyline a little less than plausible. Thoroughly enjoyed and am going to watch again very soon.

James Garner is superb, edgy as a dog robber (quartermaster of found items) for the general he serves; devoted coward, he says, but clear-eyed realist, who finds nothing glorious in war. Julie Andrews is wonderful, as always, but maybe too good to play a young woman who gives a lot to departing servicemen. Garner and Andrews have real chemistry, confirmed in "Victor/Victoria." Paddy Chayefsky wrote it, which pretty much says it all. One of my three favorite movies. See more 01/29/2021 Brilliant and funny. The speech by James Garner is soul shaking. A must see!

American attititudes and values changed Britain during the Second World War and the American influence has continued. The James Garner character helps to explain the situation. Decide for yourself if his Yankee Doodle influence is helpful. See more john e @EggmanATL 08/19/2020 It was a little uneven, part war commentary, part romantic comedy but I quite enjoyed it. Some of James Garner's character's monologues regarding war were incredibly rich, raw and thought provoking. "It's the virtue of war that's the fraud, not war itself." Their love affair was completely forced and in my opinion rather awkward, but the over all content gets a solid B+. As a small added bonus, two future cast mates on Rowan and Martin's Laugh In, Alan Sues and Judy Carne, both have cameo roles! See more Read all reviews
