Private Benjamin (1980)

£0.00


Country: US
Technical: col 110m
Director: Howard Zieff
Cast: Goldie Hawn, Eileen Brennan, Armand Assante, Robert Webber

Synopsis:

A young woman from a somewhat privileged background suddenly decides to join the U.S. Army, and finds herself at Boot Camp with an extremely hard-nosed lady Captain breathing down her neck.

Review:

Back in training, with all the clichéd story beats (mud and rain misery, contempt from the sorority, good will obtained thanks to cookiness and luck, top brass approval through unlikely success)... Fortunately the personality of its star made it appealing, and there was so little moderate entertainment at the time!
