Okay, let me just say—I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve rewatched this DVD. It’s like comfort food in movie form? Bette Midler and James Caan are *chef’s kiss* together. The way they balance comedy and those gut-punch emotional moments… genius.

The soundtrack? Stuck in my head for days. Midler’s voice is pure magic, and the wartime showbiz backdrop adds this bittersweet layer. Sure, some scenes feel a little over-the-top (looking at you, George Segal), but it’s part of the charm.

Fair warning: keep tissues handy. That one scene with the son? Destroyed me. But it’s real, y’know? War isn’t just USO glamour—this movie gets that.

Picture quality holds up surprisingly well for an older DVD! No fuzzy moments during musical numbers, which matters when Midler’s belting her heart out.

Verdict: If you love historical dramedies with killer performances (and don’t mind sobbing occasionally), this is a must-own. A+ from me!
