	The Great Anti-War Films: The Americanization of Emily
		Emily Barham (Julie Andrews) is a war widow working the motor pool who is assigned to drive Charlie to the supply station to pick up steaks, eggs, fruit and plenty of booze for a swank officers’ party.
		Emily warns him that her mother is a bit mad and has taken to referring to her fallen husband and son as though they were still alive.
		Julie Andrews is perfect as Emily, and it is not at all hard to believe that the Garner character could fall in love with her overnight.

		THE AMERICANIZATION OF EMILY is one of the finest films of that period, a movie that manages to be a biting satirical comedy, a clear-eyed love story, and a passionate denunciation of warfare all at the same time.
		EMILY was popular enough but somewhat overlooked at the time of its release, and it is not as well-known today as it deserves to be.
		Emily has lost a father, a brother, and a husband in this war, and she is sick and tired of gallant men sacrificing their lives in a seemingly endless war.

		The lively but somehow slightly distasteful The Americanization of Emily stars James Garner as a WWII naval officer who happens to be a craven coward.
		Garner falls in love with virtuous war widow Julie Andrews (the "Emily" of the title), but she can't abide his yellow streak.
		Americanization of Emily was Julie Andrews' second film; it should have led to a steady stream of adult-oriented roles, but the box-office clout of Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music consigned her to "wholesome family entertainment".

	IGN: Americanization of Emily, The Review
		His driver is Emily (Julie Andrews), a young woman who has lost her new husband, brother and father during the war and finds Charlie's womanizing and arrogant American demeanor distasteful.
		This was only Julie Andrews' second film, but her Emily is a lusty woman fearful of commitment, but of conflicted passions for Charlie.
		Emily appeared between Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music and it hints that if it weren't for those twin musical successes, she may've avoided being permanently typecast in virginal roles.

	The Americanization of Emily
		Arthur Hiller's "The Americanization of Emily" (1964) was a departure for its British co-star, Julie Andrews.
		Known primarily as the squeaky clean virgin of stage plays, "Camelot" and "My Fair Lady," and her debut standout as the nanny with an edge in "Mary Poppins," on this occasion Andrews is cast as Emily Bartham -- a rather vivacious vixen in London's swinging west end.

		Emily is a satiric, romantic, fl comedy about an American "dog-robber" (procurement specialist) named Charlie Madison, a Sgt. Bilko-like officer acquiring booze, broads, and gourmet treats for his American Navy general boss overseas in 1944.
		Andrews plays a lovely war widow, Emily Barham, working as a military driver in war-torn London, deeply committed to the war effort that's taken the lives of both her father and husband.
		There is simply no area in which The Americanization of Emily is not superior — as an anti-war film, it's strikingly modern, and the satire is viciously pointed in classic Chayevsky fashion (he and Hiller would work together again a decade later on the brilliant George C. Scott film The Hospital).

		Released between the blockbuster films Mary Poppins (1964) and The Sound of Music (1965), The Americanization of Emily (1964) proved that Andrews's talents were hardly limited to her singing voice and that her charms were just as engaging in a modest comedy as in a lavish musical.
		A proper, repressed war widow who refuses to take part in the atmosphere of frivolity that infects her countrywomen in uniform, Emily nonetheless falls for the cavalier Charlie, whose cowardice turns out to be his best selling point for a woman who has lost a husband, father and brother in the war.
		Controversial upon its original release, The Americanization of Emily was a vanguard anti-war film, poking fun at mindless patriotism years before such films were fashionable or popularly accepted.

	slant // magazine.com: DVD Review - The Americanization of Emily
		Arguing that international conflicts are neither noble nor inevitable, Hiller's 1964 anti-war satire created some controversy thanks to its portrait of lascivious, drunken, egomaniacal military bigwigs and its elevation of James Garner's Charlie Madison, a self-described "practicing coward," as its hero.
		Still, The Americanization of Emily's wry, sardonic take on the absurdity of war (an attitude that would later inform MAS*H and Catch-22) is kept afloat by its sterling leads, who manage to smoothly balance frivolous farce with a measure of sobering poignancy.
		Hiller's bland directorial eye is the weakest aspect of The Americanization of Emily, but Warner's new 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer ably handles the fl-and-white film without a lot of edge enhancement or grain.

		The late Paddy Chayefsky was the bard of comic outrage, a brilliant satirist whose targets ranged from television (Network) to healthcare (The Hospital).
		Both a scathingly funny critique of the absurdity of war and a tender romance, The Americanization of Emily doesn't pull any punches in its withering portrait of the American military leaders.

		Emily is a coruscating piece of work by the legendary Chayefsky, who fashioned one of the most thoughtfully hilarious films ever written on military service and marriage in a series of brilliant one-liners.
		Conversely, Emily's mantra of God, honor, and country expresses the spirit of self-sacrifice in wartime for which the British are famed.
		When Emily questions the value of Charley's live-for-today creed, asking in effect, "Are you going to get rid of me when I'm not fun any more," she's spoken the key line of the film.

		Probably the most famous role of Julie's career, that of Maria von Trapp in THE SOUND OF MUSIC (1965) was oddly enough one she was skeptical about taking due to the sometimes overly-sugary sweetness of the Broadway version of Rodgers and Hammerstein's musical.
