Movie Haiku:Jewish Princess (Hawn) impulsively joins the Army after her second husband dies on their wedding night. It’s a disaster, but when her wealthy parents come to bail her out, she realizes it’s her only chance to find herself. She digs in with renewed commitment… until the “perfect man” appears… Comic gem!
