Fraternizing With The Enemy In The War Between The Sexes

Tom Neal is drafted in the army and winds up at a post in the desert. He bets his bunkmates that he can get women, and heads off. By forging orders, he gets a bunch of WACs led by Lieutenant Iris Adrian assigned to the post, and musical numbers ensue.

It's a Lippert production directed by Reginald Leborg, so I wasn't expecting much. Neal spends most of the time grumpy, and Miss Adrian, although a fine farceur, does likewise. On the other hand, the musical numbers include some good dancing, and Jimmy Dodd sings a few numbers well; he had appeared in soundies under Leborg's direction. Eventually it all ends clumsily, but there's some fun along the way. Jack Greenhalgh's cinematography was, for once, not ruined by muddy prints.

A rare oddity

This independent film was a late night favorite in St. Louis in the '50s. It is rudimentary but fun with odd little songs, a wandering plot and everyone trying to create the best humor and spirit possible. The most famous line from the film is "Trucking, trucking" but you'd have to see the movie to get what that was all about. I actually have "G.I.Jane" on videotape, copied from a telecast. What's most interesting about this film is it sort of looks like a television show, yet it is a full production of realistic sets and costumes and scoring. I've always wondered if it actually played anywhere. I do know in 1950s St. Louis it was a favorite.
