In this Vietnam-era movie with an all-star cast that includes Tony Curtis,Ernest Borgnine,Brian Keith,Ivan Dixon,Suzanne Pleshette,Don Ameche and others.Warrant Officer Micheal Nace(Brian Keith) gets assigned to a large Army Base assigned as a community relations specialist who is reunited with his 2 long time Pals Sargent Shannon Gambroni(Tony Curtis) and Sargent Raymond Jones(Ivan Dixon).There has been a long time feud between the soldiers and the small town just outside the base.So Nace decides to throw a party to unite the 2 sides.Tensions reach a boiling point when Shannon is arrested for indecent behavior while hitting on the local Sheriff's(Earnest Borgnine)prospective girlfriend(Suzanne Pleshette).Nace and Jones commandeer an old WW2 Tank and crash their way through the town jail to rescue and free their friend and set the record straight once and for all especially with the bigoted,brutal Sheriff which makes this film probably the best Military versus Civilian Comedy/Spoof ever!!

Fantastic all star cast. Lots of laughs. It starts a little slow, doesn't have much of a plot but is entertaining. The war is between the local Army base and the local sheriff.

This is a good comedy starring: Brian Keith, Ernest Borgnine, Suzanne Pleshette, Don Ameche, Tom Ewell, Arthur O'Connell, Ivan Dixon, Bradford Dillman, John Fiedler, Tony Curtis and Christopher Mitchum in small roles. This movie runs about 113 minutes (1hr 53min) in Widescreen format (1.85:1) and is in color. It all starts with the local Sheriff not wanting the army in his town and the army making a deal of there own, when one of there own gets into trouble. I would recommend this.

This was one of the Movies that I could not play on my TV as it was the wrong Region. Also the Ronald Reagan,but have viewed them on my Computer. But it is not quite the same, as viewing on the TV. So how do I know before purchasing any DVD's if they are suitable for Australian viewing?

Adore all of these actors. Had to add this to my "classic" list of home movies. Goofy and fun. :)

wow. I'd forgotten just how many horribly bad movies were made during the late 60's & early 70's. A one note joke that lasts 89 minutes too long & wastes the talent of all involved.

I remembered this as a really funny movie, but wasn't all that amused by it. I guess humor changes as times change.

The DVD arrived in perfect condition. The only problem with it is the language of the DVD.

dvd just as describe+good seller+good shipping++ if you are a collector it worth having in your collection-bad note is it mucher harder to leave feed back at this sight I bought this movie 2 mo ago with ebay when you receve it you can leave feed back-ebay is 10 time easer

2 stars, one for each laugh. Read the reviews, but how could this cast make a movie that bad. They are all my favorite actors (except Tony Curtis) in one movie. Ok for a dollar I bought the movie. Watched and then put it in the give away pile. I have lots of public domain, black and white, full screen, blurry prints that I find more enjoyable to watch. A good study in how a great cast can be wasted. Tony Curtis roll in the movie (script fault) drug it down more. Hy Averback, the director has been great in ½ hour TV shows but doesn't seem to know what to do with a 1½ hour movie. Tank, with James Garner, same type plot, is much better although not a comedy, it has it light moments. MGM has to have better movies to release. Oh yes. That's right, they did with their Midnight Movies series.
