If you can identify the movie from my description, help me out here:

The American Movie is

1. Black and White. Set after WW2 possibly so early 50s.

2. It is a 'buddy film'.

3. It's two central characters are in the army.

4. One of the leads is a simple but popular and attractive guy, he is a subordinate rank (private?) to the senior guy (sgt?).

5. The senior guy is short and unattractive and acerbic, but has a good heart. The subordinate Private guy sets out to make his (sgt) life better.

6. The 'Private' then sets up the 'Sergeant' with a girl at a funfair. Sergeant guy is happy with girl but then finds out she was set up and gets mad.

And that's about all I can remember, I watched it as a kid and now cannot for the life of me remember what it was called or if I'm remembering all those bits correctly.

If it jogs anyone's mind, let me know. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524473/5568910.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524473/5568910.page GMT Re:Do you know what movie I'm half remembering? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524473/5568999.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524473/5568999.page GMT Do you know what movie I'm half remembering? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524473/5569085.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524473/5569085.page GMT Re:Do you know what movie I'm half remembering? categories for it would be a bit of a long shot? I.e. there's a lot in there, and the film may not even have an article. I've spent ages searching through every listing in those things just to find books before. Going so far as to look up every film produced during the 50-60s may be a bit too far though... =/]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524473/5569108.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524473/5569108.page GMT Re:Do you know what movie I'm half remembering? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524473/5569201.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524473/5569201.page GMT Do you know what movie I'm half remembering?

This describes most post-WWII era films, of which there are a lot.

At first I thought maybe it was 'No Time For Sergeants', but it has been so long that I can't recall much beyond it having Andy Griffith (pre-Andy-Griffith show) and Don Knotts.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524473/5569238.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524473/5569238.page GMT Do you know what movie I'm half remembering? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524473/5569247.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524473/5569247.page GMT Re:Do you know what movie I'm half remembering?

Well done sir, that was not correct but led me to take a look on youtube and it jogged two things from my brain, it was Steve Mcqueen in the 'simple private' role and it was later than ww2, peacetime.

So I finally found it.

It was called

'Soldier in the Rain'.

Great, now to watch it again. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524473/5569312.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524473/5569312.page GMT Re:Do you know what movie I'm half remembering?
