Two seasoned Navy sailors have a week to escort a young offender to prison, but along the way, they try to show him the good times he's about to miss out on. Hal Ashby's funny and subversive comedy became famous for its frequent use of the F-bomb, but it has stood the test of time. The performances are great. Scripted by Robert Towne.
