Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 4/5 --
Classic anti-war comedy. Ahead of its time.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Rating: 2.5/4 --
Though a bit overstuffed with long-winded speeches, Chayefsky's scabrously funny script brims with snappy, crackling dialogue.

Rating: B --
I would have appreciated the film more if it was less talky and if it didn't completely ignore the obvious that fighting madman Hitler was necessary.

Rating: B- --
Another director (not Arthur Hiller) would have been more suitable in translating to the big screen Paddy Chayefky's witty WWII serio-comedy.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Stationed in London during World War II, American Lieutenant Commander Charles E. Madison (James Garner) has become an expert in avoiding hazardous duty. But he falls in love with an English widow (Julie Andrews) who has lost her husband and most of her family to the war -- and who selflessly believes in duty and country. And then Madison is chosen to be the first Allied soldier to land on the beach at Normandy on D-Day, an honor that no one expects him to survive.
