James Garner, Julie Andrews, and Melvyn Douglas star in this sardonic anti-war black comedy adapted by Paddy Chayefsky from William Bradford Huie’s novel.

USA, 1964, Arthur Hiller
Set in WWII London shortly before D-Day, the film tells of a cowardly, fun-loving naval officer who falls for a young British war widow shortly before he is selected by his commanding officer for the dubious honor of (probably) becoming the first American to die during the Normandy invasion. Julie Andrews has said that this b&w film, released between Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music, is her favorite of her movies. “[Chayefsky and Hiller’s] Hospital without the gore.” –Time Out Film Guide. 35mm. 115 min.
