Private Benjamin
Private Benjamin ★★½ 1980 (R)
Lighthearted fare about a pampered New York Jewish princess who impulsively enlists in the U.S. Army after her husband dies on their wedding night. Hawn, who also produced, creates a character loveable even at her worst moments and brings a surprising amount of depth to this otherwise frivolous look at high society attitudes. Basis for a TV series. 110m/C VHS, DVD . Goldie Hawn, Eileen Brennan, Albert Brooks, Robert Webber, Armand Assante, Barbara Barrie, Mary Kay Place, Sally Kirkland, Craig T. Nelson, Harry Dean Stanton, Sam Wanamaker; D: Howard Zieff; W: Nancy Meyers, Charles Shyer, Harvey Miller; C: David M. Walsh; M: Bill Conti. Writers Guild '80: Orig. Screenplay.
