I have to agree with all the positive comments here. "Sunday Dinner For A Soldier" is a wonderful family film. I'm very surprised that it isn't in either DVD or VHS release. Everyone in the cast shines, and the plot is simple, yet beautiful, with just enough humor to keep it rolling along. I've always been a big fan of both John Hodiak and Anne Baxter, so this was perfect casting, in my opinion. Baxter was never lovelier than during this period in her career.
It shows up on the Fox Movie Channel every now and then, as it was a Fox Studio production, but I wish it was available for purchase. I'd pull it out every couple of months, just to get spiritually recharged. It is an uplifting film, filled with hope and resolve in the midst of wartime.

This wonderful film has a superb cast, including not only the leads, McQueen, Gleason and Weld, but also the support, like Tony Bill and Tom Poston. Particularly good are Lew Gallo and Ed Nelson as the two MPs, Lenahan and Priest. Those guys still creep me out! Also helping it achieve greatness was the wonderful score by Mancini, which I can still whistle to this day, and the wonderful B&W photography, by a master, Phil Lathrop.
Ralph Nelson managed to direct some really fine B&W films - Requiem For a Heavyweight, Lillies of the Field, Fate is the Hunter, and this gem.
Among my favorites!

This is a superb film, told by a director who understood his subject. Well-acted throughout, by an outstanding cast of support players, but this is simply the best bit of acting John Wayne ever did. The scene when Wayne realizes that they may have just missed their final chance of being rescued is nothing short of Oscar-worthy. It is so rare to see John Wayne cracking, and breaking down mentally, and this scene will always stay with me.
One of the very best stars of the film is the Douglas C-47, several of which are featured throughout the film. Shot from every conceivable angle, it is a real treat to see so much of this legendary aircraft. It's hard today to remember how important it was to commercial aviation, but it is the "George Washington" of airliners, and Wellman gives us a no-special-effects and shot-on-location look at her.
Batjac has finally given us the goods!
