Soldier in the Rain

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Soldier in the Rain is a 1963 poignant drama about an obese Army sergeant (Jackie Gleason) and a country bumpkin buck sergeant (Steve McQueen in an extremely uncharacteristic and animated comedic performance). Tuesday Weld plays Gleason's character's love interest in a film often referred to by critics as charming and unusual. Directed by Ralph Nelson, who had directed Gleason in Requiem for a Heavyweight the previous year.
