For the boids. Long soggy slog through half a century with a couple of show-biz troupers who entertain the troops from Blitzed London to South Vietnam. It's not without all sincerity. The belief in trouping is solidly backed up by the unreserved, unembarrassed performances of Bette Midler and James Caan, both of whom become more stereotypically Jewish as the old-age makeup mounts up. Directed by Mark Rydell, who had directed Midler in her first screen role in The Rose, and whose own son, playing Midler's own son, gets mowed down in slow-motion before her very eyes in Vietnam.
