I caught this on TMC, had no idea what to expect. I like Robinson, and needless to say, was a great movie. Mr. Winkle was is a poor man whose wife picks on him and works a job he hates. He quits his job to work in his wood/medal shop in his garage. His wife says he needs to get his job back and the next day he's drafted. Being 44 years old he doesn't see himself lasting too long, but he soon finds his niche.
Finding someone's niche is what the Army's all about, even though training has changed in 60 years, the feeling to serve the country hasn't for many men.
Hard to classify this as a comedy, hard to say it's a drama. It's shorter than most movies, but it zips along. I await Hollywood to remake it.
