| Summary |
Lt. Commander Charles E. Madison loves his job: as 'dog robber' his duties consist of rounding up scarce delicacies and services, while safely avoiding combat. Admiral William Jessup, however, is intent on having a sailor as the first casualty on D-Day - preferably with a film crew filming him. Having fallen for his English motor pool driver Emily, freewheeling Madison struggles to escape being sent off to land on Omaha Beach as the cameraman. |
