Product Description 

Spoiled Washington socialite Jo McBain joins the WACs (Women’s Army Corps) to be near her boyfriend, Colonel Fairchild, certain that her daddy will pull strings to land her a soft commission in the officers’ corps. Instead, father plans to teach the girl a lesson, leaving the horrified Jo to withstand the rigors of basic training on her own. She is convinced things can get no worse when her ex-husband Andrew appears on base in charge of a secret testing unit and determined to win Jo back. When Jo gets assigned to Andrew’s test group, he tightens the screws to undermine and destroy any possibility of romance between her and the Colonel.

Beautiful Rosalind Russell was a fashion model who graduated to Broadway and then Hollywood. She is best remembered for her role in the Howard Hawks screwball comedy classic His Girl Friday (1940) and her portrayal of the titular character in 1958’s Auntie Mame. Her long distinguished career would result in an Oscar and five Golden Globe Awards.
