Plot: It's 1941. Robert E. Lee Prewitt has requested Army transfer and has ended up at Schofield in Hawaii. His new captain, Dana Holmes, has heard of his boxing skills and is keen to get him to represent the company. However, 'Prew' is adamant that he doesn't box anymore, so Captain Holmes gets his subordinates to make his life a living hell. Meanwhile Sergeant Warden starts seeing the captain's wife, who has a history of seeking external relief from a troubled marriage. Prew's friend Maggio has a few altercations with the sadistic stockade Sergeant 'Fatso' Judson, and Prew begins falling in love with social club employee Lorene. The Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor looms in the distance
My Review:Its not a war movie.Its about troubled relationships of soldiers.One can call it an old classic.Personally I didn't find it worthy of 8 oscars.Its a good movie,no doubt.But may be I am biased to thrillers,so this kind of lovestories generates a little interest.Plus the length of 138minutes makes it a little drag.Acting is good but the stories are not that interesting.watch it if you like talkative old classic lovestories.
My Ratings:2/5,Okay
