The Americanization of Emily (1964)
Why did Emily call Charlie the most immoral man she'd ever met?
Starring James Garner, Julie Andrews, Melvyn Douglas
Directed by Arthur Hiller
During the build-up to D-Day in 1944, the British found their island hosting many thousands of American soldiers who were 'oversexed, overpaid, and over here'. That's Charlie Madison exactly; he knows all the angles to make life as smooth and risk-free as possible for himself. But things become complicated when he falls for an English woman, and his commanding officer's nervous breakdown leads to Charlie being sent on a senseless and dangerous mission.
