Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Brian Keith, Ernest Borgnine, Suzanne Pleshette and Tony Curtis head a Â"first-rate castÂ" (Motion Picture Herald) in this Â"sharp, amusingÂ" (The New York Times) comedy that pits the fed-up brass of an Army base against the fired-up citizens of a nearby town!In an effort to shore up a shaky truce between civilians and base personnel, three hapless Army buddies find themselves appointed Â"community public relations officers.Â" Unfortunately, Sergeant Shannon GambroniÂ's (Curtis) idea of community relations includes pursuing and wooing Ramona (Pleshette), a sexy waitress whom Sheriff Harve (Borgnine) considers his personal property. And when ammo and amour finally clash in an outrageous battle royal, who will ultimately surrender?

5.0 out of 5 stars This Military versus Civilian Comedy/Spoof Rules!!, May 15, 2002
By A Customer
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!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Suppose They Gave a War and Nobody Came?, September 7, 2005
By Kathleen Bounds (Huntsville, AL by way of California) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Love the cast, disliked the plot., June 25, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
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.

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

1.0 out of 5 stars just an awful, dated, really stupid little film
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... Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Funnier in memory
I remembered this as a really funny movie, but wasn't all that amused by it. I guess humor changes as times change.
