"Women of easy virtue" seems to be the real purpose of the motor pool, staffed entirely by attractive young women who chauffeur the senior Allied officers around. Among those are Emily Barham (Creator/JulieAndrews), who has suffered terribly in the war, losing a father, a brother, and a husband. Emily is initially appalled by Charlie's libertine attitude and lack of patriotism, but can't resist an attraction to him, at least in part because of his laziness and cowardice--Charlie is unlikely to get killed in the war, unlike so many other people who were important to her.

However, much to Charlie's displeasure, a major threat to his cushy rear-echelon lifestyle emerges. Adm. Jessup is worried about the Navy getting upstaged by the Army in the imminent invasion of France, and he's also been acting increasingly erratically since the death of his wife. He decides that "The first dead man on Omaha Beach must be a sailor," and he further decides that a Navy propaganda unit must be there to film it. And he chooses Charlie to lead that team.

Julie Andrews' second movie, sandwiched in between the smash hits ''Film/MaryPoppins'' and ''Theatre/TheSoundOfMusic''. Also notable as the only black-and-white movie she ever made, and a rare role in which she doesn't sing.

Creator/JamesCoburn plays Charlie's fellow Navy staffer and high-living playboy, Commander "Bus" Cummings. Creator/SharonTate was an extra.
