Synopsis – What to Expect from “For the Boys”
For the Boys is a 1991 American musical comedy-drama film directed by Mark Rydell and starring Bette Midler and James Caan.
The film tells the story of Dixie Leonard (Bette Midler), a 1940s-era singer and dancer who is recruited by a top Hollywood producer to join a USO tour to entertain the troops during World War II. Along the way, she meets fellow entertainer Eddie Sparks (James Caan), a brash and irreverent comedian. Despite their initial differences, the two form a strong bond as they travel from one military base to another, entertaining the troops and bringing them a bit of joy in the midst of the war.
The film follows Dixie and Eddie over the course of several decades, as they struggle with personal and professional issues, and their relationship evolves from a professional one to a deep and lasting friendship. As they grow older, they both reflect on the time they spent together and the impact it had on their lives.
The film is a heartwarming story of friendship, love, and loyalty, and a tribute to the brave men and women who served in World War II. It is a reminder of the power of music, laughter, and friendship to bring people together, even in the darkest of times.
