Description:
Academy Award-winner Sissy Spacek (Carrie, Coal Miner's Daughter) is Verna, USO Girl, a kindhearted - but not particularly talented - member of a performing troupe in World War II Belgium. She wins the heart of an American soldier, memorably played by Oscar-winner William Hurt (The Big Chill). An entertaining look at the camaraderie between USO entertainers and combat troops. Also starring Sally Kellerman. Adapted by Albert Innaurato from Paul Gallico's short story.

I bought this DVD some time ago but only got around to playing it on the occasion of Memorial Day 2009. I'm glad I did. The talent - actors, writers, direction - is top-notch which is rather surprising since it was a made-for-TV production (i.e., small budget). It was shown nationwide by PBS as part of the Great Performances series on January 25, 1978 and then dropped out of sight.
What gives it an aura of authenticity is that it was filmed on location on US Army combat training centers ... Read More
