Biloxi Blues (1988)
Country: US
Technical: col/scope 106m
Director: Mike Nichols
Cast: Matthew Broderick, Christopher Walken, Penelope Ann Miller
Synopsis:
Dramatisation of Neil Simon's experiences at a Mississippi boot camp during WW2.
Review:
Agreeable but disappointing follow-up to Brighton Beach Memoirs, with Eugene again up against adolescent male complexes and rites of passage. Opposing forces here are represented by the sadistic drill sergeant (a kitten next to Lee Ermey, mind) and the unreconstructed views of his fellow grunts.
