Votes: 28,706 | Gross: $69.85M

To me this isn't really a military movie, but it does have center around being in the Army. As a fan of Goldie Hawn I enjoy Private Judy Benjamin almost as much today as I did when I saw it in the theater in 1980. Judy was a spoiled rich girl who after her husband dies on their wedding. Judy goes to an Army recruiting office, which is my favorite seen in the movie, but unfortunately Judy's recruiter is the only military recruiter that has ever told a lie. She wants to quit the Army but only stays to prove her parents that she can be independent.

Tom Rath (Gregory Peck) is a husband and father working his way up the corporate ladder. Tom is an Army veteran of World War II and throughout the movie Tom is shown staring and recalling scenes from the war which is what we now call PTSD. During the movie Tom has ethical dilemmas in the corporate world and later in the movie he finds out that he had fathered a child while serving in Italy. The highlights for me is how Tom Rath deals with the dilemmas. Tom Rath is a fine man.
