PRIVATE BENJAMIN's immovable object is pampered Judy Benjamin, a wedding night widow. The irresistable 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.

This film is about two stories; a Philadelphia Princess becoming a soldier, and an embarrassing love affair gone wrong. I didn't see the connection, or work out what the film was supposed to be saying. Nice acting, well directed, well filmed, ends up as froth.
