Army plans call for three Crocketts per battalion, or a total of 120 in Europe...
That is to say, she gets it in the neck when her boy friend does a vanishing act from a traveling magic show, stranding the troupe in a Kansas tank town. But she looks around, notices that by gosh it is the very town she grew up in, and goes to live with Claire Trevor, who had been like a mother to her years before. Claire's son (Richard Beymer) grudgingly moves out of his room onto a day bed. One night, after a fight with Mom, he goes out, gets drunk, comes home, jumps into...
