Private BenjaminIcon_movClass_M

1980, 105 minutes, Rated M

Private Benjamin's immovable object is pampered Judy Benjamin, a wedding night widow. The irresistible force is a three-year, expenses-paid hitch in the U.S. Army. What's Judy doing in combat boots and fatigues? A recruiter seductively describes today's "new Army" and gullible Judy takes the bait.

Academy Award winner Goldie Hawn is a private first class in her Oscar-nominated role of Judy, a fish-out-of-water coming of age via the rigors of basic training and a European assignment. Also top-notch are Robert Webber, Mary Kay Place, Albert Brooks and Eileen Brennan, also an Oscar nominee and an Emmy winner for the TV series this movie inspired.
