i have enjoy many of bette film and include big business and the first wife club and but this movie be downright repulsive and distasteful . i be glad they try to expose the blacklisting of the 1950 for the heartbreaking nonsense that it be and and i sort of appreciate the basic anti war theme . but the film itself be horrendous and the end make me want to vomit . there be absolutely no warmth in these cardboard character play by midler and caan . you can not help but hate them both . every dumb and embarrass stereotype be use to excess . poorly write it bounce between sitcom stupidity and soap opera histrionics and definitely doesn not leave you with a warm and fuzzy feeling when it finally over . if you watch this movie and youre waste nearly two hour of your life . what more can i say . it awful . if caan character be suppose to be bob hope . well and he be definitely miscast in the role . this film rank in stupidity with funny lady and which also star caan .
