Movie Description
Soldier in the Rain is a 1963 American comedy-drama film starring Jackie Gleason and Steve McQueen, and directed by Ralph Nelson. Tuesday Weld portrays Gleason's character's romantic partner.
Produced by Martin Jurow and co-written by Maurice Richlin and Blake Edwards, the screenplay is based upon a 1960 novel by William Goldman and concerns the friendship between an Army Master Sergeant (Gleason) and a young country bumpkin buck sergeant (McQueen). The music is by Henry Mancini.
The film was released five days after President John F. Kennedy's assassination, which didn't help its box office take.
