Private Benjamin

Goldie Hawn stars in one of her best films as a spoilt society woman whose husband dies on her wedding night. Looking for a change of pace, she is tricked by duplicitous recruiter Harry Dean Stanton into enlisting in the army. But despite the initial culture shock and coming into conflict with her tough commanding officer (Oscar-nominated Eileen Brennan), she soon finds direction and esteem for the first time in her life - which comes in handy when no-good smoothie Armand Assante worms his way into her affections. Charming comedy, with an upbeat ending that may get viewers jumping out of their seats with joy. Sam Wanamaker and Craig T Nelson co-star
