Query: Part 2 of 3

Neil Simon's second in a trilogy of autobiographical plays/movies (BRIGHTON BEACH MEMOIRS was the first), this is set in an Army boot camp in Biloxi, Mississippi, during WW II. The typical cast of barracks boys is presented: a crazy sergeant, a bigoted tough guy, a highly principled Jew, etc. They joke around, fight, visit a whorehouse, etc. The vignette-like scenes are stagey and for the most part sentimental and nostalgic, but many of them work okay. Matthew Broderick plays the main character and does an excellent job. Warm humor seen through the filter of time is striven for here rather than the comic punch Simon got elsewhere. Worth a peek.
