Like the play, the movie makes a pleasant pretense of seeing America-by seeing American military government-as others see it. Along with the banalysis of democrazy, though, the authors have provided one of the most hilarious stripe teases of recent years. The big laugh is on Colonel Wainwright Purdy III (Paul Ford), who goes by the book (though he usually reads it upside down). "They're gonna learn democracy if I've gotta shoot every one of them," the colonel roars at Captain Fisby (Glenn Ford) as he bids the captain Godspeed to the village of Tobiki...
Yale kicked off, a long, spiralling kick that carried to Harvard's goal line. A lineman caught it and darted for the near sideline. A deafening crescendo of agonied yells sped the runner past the midfield stripe, behind a series of crushing blocks. Two tackles clung to him but he would not stop. Finally, crushed under a mountain of Yale muscle, he lateraled a pass between the legs of a tackler, and a teammate gathered the ball into his arms for the last twenty yards and the first of Harvard's nine touchdowns...

I suspect I would have transferred him away for stupidity or for lack of judgment. I would probably have written in his service-record book that on no condition was this sergeant to drill recruits again." General Pate, whatever his intention, seemed to be telling the court...
...gloomy gamblers of the Continent who frequent Monte Carlo's famed Casino are usually content to court fortune with no better equipment than a good-luck charm or an "infallible" system. Three Californians-Jason Lee, 60, Philip Aggie, 37, and Ralph Shaker, 40-were of a more practical stripe. Resolved to beat the American-type craps table at the old Casino, they arrived in Monaco, dropped $35,000 at the table, but returned to the U.S. with a handful of wax impressions of the Casino's dice. A month later, they went back armed for victory...
