The Americanization of Emily (1964)

James Garner is an extremely charming American dog robber working for a mentally unstable admiral, played by Melvyn Douglas, in World War II London. Julie Andrews is a semi-hardened driver for the military’s motor pool, who has seen too much death in the war already, but is still fascinated by Garner. It is an entertaining oddity to see a World War II film whose main character is an antiwar soldier and whose cowardice is what most attracts the woman who falls in love with him. There is a lot that is told with laughs and absurdity, but it never forgets the seriousness of war.
