The Americanization of Emily

“Why did Emily call Charlie the most immoral man she'd ever met?”

Lt. Commander Charles Madison (James Garner) is a naval aide in wartime London who procures whiskey and stockings for his admiral and wants nothing to do with heroism. Then Admiral Jessup (Melvyn Douglas) concocts a D-Day stunt that could get Charlie killed, just as he falls for Emily Barham (Julie Andrews), a British driver. Arthur Hiller shoots Paddy Chayefsky's talky script in black and white, giving each argument the room it needs.
