Private Benjamin (1980 Howard Zieff)

Biggest surprise in another Myers-Shyer script (this one with Harvey Miller) is what shits all the men are, from husband of six hours Albert Brooks, father Sam Wanamaker, raping army mentor Robert Webber and dodgy French doctor Armand Assante. Actually Eileen Brennan (over playing) is pretty horrible too.

Fun to see Goldie Hawn put through her army paces, befriending colleagues such as May Kay Place, though it's exactly these comrades that should have featured strongly in weak conclusion which has Goldie walk off into the French countryside, clad in wedding gown.

  1. I've never heard of Holdie Hawn, is she Goldie's sister?
