I didn't like it as much as I expected to. I think I had a crush on Steve McQueen when I saw it last and loved Jackie Gleason from The Hustler. McQueen was having an affair with his co-star and he and Gleason didn't get along for most of the picture so I think that influenced me. Also, I saw it late at night when I kept falling asleep. Eustis just kept depending on his Sergeant to fix everything for him and it came to roost. Liked it for what it was; a story about army life on a base that was closing and the shenanigans of supply non-coms. M

Like Gleason, McQueen, Weld, and Noel. The story line is week and somewhat corny! I am fond of each actor especially Chris Noel who three years later became and radio announcer on one of our Vietnam Military Radio stations. She came to Cu Chi Vietnam with Bob Hope in 1966 and had dinner in Our Mess Hall with Bob and others only a few feet from me. One of the few good things about the Movie is her and the dedication to the Vietnam Vets. The main reason I bought the film.

I just remember watching this movie as a kid in the 1960's and I enjoyed it so much. Of course, at that time, Jackie Gleason was a huge star after he did the "Honeymooners." Steve McQueen was on his way to stardom, and his performance in this movie showed his potential. The movie has a bittersweet ending, but it is one that you'll just feel good after watching it. It is TIMELESS!

Nostalgic memories from watching several excellent actors from my youth. Glad to see that the film is now available on DVD.

Well made movie. Fun to watch with touches of reality to keep it real. Was a hard to find flick, but got it and enjoyed watching it a few times with friends and family. Black and white movie, but nothing lost that color would have made better. The main actors looked like they had fun making this movie. Probably an adult movie due to the quick moving story line.
