NEVER WAVE AT A WAC(1953)
Rosalind plays a snooty little rich girl who's divorced
and her new boyfriend who's in the Army is headed for
Paris! She decides she doesn't trust him and joins the
WAKs to be close to him, but of course things don't
go the way she plans! B-
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
The plot of this movie is more than a little similar
to "Private Benjamin." It's fun to see Rosalind Russell
as a sort of WASP version of Goldie Hawn, indignant
at the treatment she's being given in the WACs. The
first half of this film is nearly a laugh a minute,
but it bogs down in the second half when it does
duty as a propaganda film and tries to put a button
on the story line.
I found a DVD copy of this included on one of those
discs that cram several movies on to one disc and
cost very little. The title of the disc is "Comedy
Classics" and includes (along with "Never Wave At
a WAC") "New Faces," "Hazel Flagg," "The Smallest
Show on Earth," and five others.
This movie is well worth the effort to locate, if
only to see the scene in the doctor's office, Miss
Russell with cigarette in hand. - BrianUWS
