Weekend Warriors

This comedy is set in Hollywood in 1961, where a group of young men join the National Guard in an attempt to escape Vietnam. The men basically do nothing while on supposed weekend duty until they get a visit from the Army, which threatens to ship them out on active duty unless they shape up. Their solution is to hire a troupe of actors to portray convincing soldiers, put on a stage show to impress the Army officers, and make sure that enough winsome nurses are around to satisfy the proverbial lecherous tendencies of a certain colonel.

When it seems as though war may be imminent, a group of Hollywood actors and behind-the-scenes crew, including writer Vince Tucker (Chris Lemmon), enlist in the National Guard. Once in training, Tucker and his friends are subjected to rigorous exercises under the unforgiving instruction of Col. Archer (Lloyd Bridges) and Sgt. Burge (Vic Tayback). While it seems as though their plan will keep them stateside, unforeseen circumstances may send the entertainers abroad, much to their chagrin.
