Plenty of great acting jobs in this film, too bad I didn't find it entertaining. Alan Arkin plays a soldier stuck on a tour of duty because they keep changing the rules for beling allowed to go home. He tries to get them to call him insane, but it doesn't work.
Look for Bob Newhart's break out performance as a character called of all things "Major Major. I dunno exactly what I didn't like. Maybe I just despise irrational farce, or the way it was put together. I can't really put my finger on it. Maybe it's just "war sucks" kinda stories are a bit of a "well duh" to my brain.
Coos Bay has the DVD.
