Yanks

In 1942 everyone loved a soldier

Sinopse

During WWII, the United States set up army bases in Great Britain as part of the war effort. Against their proper sensibilities, many of the Brits don't much like the brash Yanks, especially when it comes to the G.I.s making advances on the lonely British girls. One relationship that develops is between married John, an Army Captain, and the aristocratic Helen, whose naval husband is away at war. Helen loves her husband, but Helen and John are looking for some comfort during the difficult times.

This has something of the mini-series to it, and try as I did - I just couldn’t get the “over paid, over sexed and over here” mantra from my mind as it rather predictably plodded along some melodramatic lines for a rather lengthy 2½ hours. There are two prongs to the story with the dashing “Matt” (Richard Gere) probably having the more prominent as he rather respectfully courts grocer’s daughter “
