Movie #378 ........................"See Here, Private Hargrove"

Movie #378 "See Here, Private Hargrove" is an oldie, with two of my favorite actors, Robert Walker and Donna Reed, although why Donna Reed is in this movie, I have no idea. She isn't really part of the conflict at all. In fact, you'd have to search really hard to find a conflict here --- it seems like a war movie that was selling the army --- the film was really about a friendship that develops between Robert Walker and Keenan Wynn --- it went on way too long (I feel asleep at the very end and had to rewind to watch it again, this time with my eyes opened) and not much here. A bit of a disappointment ---- I guess it was such a hit, though, that Hollywood made two more Private Hargrove movies ----- why? WWII is the answer, I guess. You can skip this one --- 2.5 stars
