Description:Harry Bannerman (Paul Newman) is frustrated by his wife Grace's (Joanne Woodward) constant committee work. He's distracted by his neighbor, Angela Hoffa (Joan Collins). An Army unit comes to town to set up a secret base. Grace forms a committe to get rid of them and sends Harry to Washington to negotiate. Angela follows him and make a play in his hotel room. Grace shows up and gets the wrong idea and storms off. Harry (who is in the Navy) is assigned to get things straightened out in the town. He and Grace are forced to work together to smooth things out. They put on a pageant that goes all wrong, but realize they still love each other. They also accidentally set off an experimental rocket with an annoying Army major aboard, and for some reason, everyone thinks this is funny.

Review - Rally 'Round the Flag, Boys!

Everything about this movie was bad — the plot, the acting, everything. Joanne Woodward can't act to save her life. Paul Newman acted like an idiot. It was simply terrible.
