That’s Lieutenant Commander Charles Edward Madison (James Garner) exactly; he knows all of the angles to make life as smooth and risk-free as possible for himself. But things become complicated when he falls for English woman Emily Barham (Dame Julie Andrews), and his commanding officer’s nervous breakdown leads to Charles being sent on a senseless and dangerous mission.
Plot: American sailor Charlie Madison falls for a pretty Englishwoman while trying to avoid a senseless and dangerous D-Day mission concocted by a deranged admiral.

More Than a Woman
As a Chayefsky fan, I sorta held off on this movie because it was presented to me as a mere anti-war film. I’m a little bit tired of anti-war films. I think we all are… But here I am, finishing my second viewing of this movie on back-to-back nights, and with great pleasure I can say that The Americanization of Emily is not a simple anti-war film. True to the Chayefsky name, this is one of the most original, well-crafted movies you will ever see. This is screen writing at its best: where conventional romances and gags are turned into a statement on the human condition, and you can laugh and, at the same time, hear your own thoughts put more eloquently than you could ever manage.The Americanization of Emily is not content to stop at anti-war. It moves on and on, sometimes so quick it may be a little jarring at first or seem a little preachy, and maybe it is, but, for all it’s flaws (the love song is eerily similar to Spartacus’s love theme), this film could easily enter a top ten list. I don’t want to hype it up too much, though. I may only like it because I agree. I also don’t want to neglect director Arthur Hiller’s great contribution (keep an eye out for the 3 minute take in the hotel room.) If you’re a Chayefsky fan (which should be just about everyone), however, or if you enjoy the absolute mastery of craft exhibited by Hollywod during its Golden Age, you’ll love this film. I highly suggest it. I really do.
“This war is a Shriner’s Convention for you Yanks, isn’t it?”
Curious but overrated military drama with romantic overtures was adapted by Paddy Chayefsky from William Bradford Huie’s novel, and every ‘big’ scene has the Chayefsky stamp: speeches (shot in close-up) by characters sounding off, making general points against each other–but the film isn’t so much a battle of the sexes as it is a battle of the continents. James Garner is a lieutenant commander in the US Navy stationed in London during World War II (just prior to the American invasion on Normany) who is enjoying his position as a “dog robber” (or personal assistant to the admiral, keeping him supplied with good food and easy women). Enlisted Brit Julie Andrews turns Garner’s head with her womanly figure (after appalling him with her “priggish” morals), but she senses his cowardice once he’s sent to Normandy to film the attack, calling him on it and putting their impending marriage on the rocks. Long-winded diatribe on war-time values, military actions and relationships, with most of the men playing drunken, misogynistic buffoons. Ugly-looking in inexpressive black-and-white by cinematographer Philip Lathrop, the picture sounds just as bad with Johnny Mandel’s grating martial music and poor sound recording. The editing is sloppy as well, with sequences going around in circles covering the same territory. Two Oscars nominations: for Lathrop and art direction (black-and-white). *1/2 from ****
