Review of Soldier in the Rain (1963) by Allan C — 18 May 2012
Fine low key comedy/drama written and produced by Blake Edwards, from a William Goldman novel, greatly deserving of more recognition and a wider audience The film features the great Jackie Gleason and Steve McQueen in an uncharacteristically goofy role.
There's also a terrific Henry Mancini score to boot. The film has a unique and oddly melancholy tone, but it feels sincere and works for the film. A must see for McQueen and Gleason fans.
