For the Boys (1991)

In the throes of World War II, charismatic U.S. entertainer Eddie Sparks seeks to sprinkle some laughter amidst the chaos, enlisting the help of vivacious singer/dancer Dixie Leonard. Their chemistry is electric, their performances a dazzling beacon of hope as they traverse from the scorching desert of North Africa to the Pacific's azure shores, lifting the spirits of "the boys" on the front lines. Their journey doesn't end with peace treaties and parades. The dynamic duo persists, their laughter echoing through the Korean War and the Vietnam War, their bond tested by time, conflict, and personal differences. However, the duo's unity fractures when Eddie fires Silver, an author entangled in McCarthy's notorious campaign. This act of betrayal compels Dixie to distance herself from Eddie, leaving their legacy in jeopardy. Told through the lens of Dixie's memories on the eve of receiving a prestigious medal from the President, "For the Boys" is a vibrant tapestry woven with threads of love, laughter, and tears. It's a poignant tale that captures the resilience of the human spirit and the power of entertainment amidst the world's darkest hours.

For the Boys is a drama movie featuring Bette Midler and directed by Mark Rydell.
