The Private War of Major Benson

19556.7 / 10105 min
Comedy, Family, Romance

Overview

One of Life's Happiest Experiences is MARCHING YOUR WAY!

A Major noted for advancing with his mouth before thinking is given a choice: to be drummed out of the Army, or take command of and shape up the ROTC program at Sheridan Academy before it fails its next inspection. At Sheridan he encounters three hundred pre-teen cadets who range from rascally to adorable, and a female doctor who has just the right prescription for him.
