Review

For the Boys (1991) is a comedy/drama that spans from World War II all the way to the Vietnam War about an entertainer named Eddie Sparks who enlists the help of Dixie Leonhard to give the troops a better show. The duo take their act from North Africa all the way to the Pacific, where all the most intense action is. Dixie Leonhard left her son to the care of a friend while she embarked on this career making opportunity. The film chronicles not only the nation’s history through these war years, but also Dixie’s personal life, including the troubling professional relationship with Eddie. Bette Midler plays Dixie, and in a couple of instances gives us a face full of her cleavage that’s propped up by tight glittery dresses, but no outright nudity. Hey, I thought this was for the boys!
