Not many have seen the movie produced by Blake Edwards starring Jackie Gleason, Steve McQueen and Tuesday Weld. Fewer still have the read the book by William Goldman. I saw the movie 10 or more years ago. It'll make a rock cry. I ordered the book tonight. A character study of the early '60s peace time Army. Gleason is magical as a wheeler-dealer supply master sergeant and mentor to ambitious buck sergeant, Steve McQueen. It's solid gold.

I actually owned a VHS copy of this. It has one of the best fight scenes ever. Plus the score was Mancini. "You're the only one who drinks stout Lanahan!"
I like Trad movies and will check this out. Should be able to lure it in with interlibrary loan.
