Director David Butler’s 1956 The Girl He Left Behind is an over-familiar but pleasant and mildly amusing Fifties services comedy drama, with Tab Hunter as college student Andy Shaeffer, a military draftee knocked into shape […]
Tomahawk ** (1951, Van Heflin, Yvonne De Carlo, Alex Nicol) – Classic Movie Review 7579

Stripes *** (1981, Bill Murray, John Candy, Harold Ramis, Warren Oates, P J Soles, Sean Young, Judge Reinhold, John Larroquette) – Classic Movie Review 6521
