Swing Shift starring Goldie Hawn, Kurt Russell, Ed Harris and Christine Lahti. Image from http:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/en\/f\/f0\/Swing_shift.jpg<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Kay Walsh (Goldie Hawn<\/a>) is happily married to her husband Jack (Ed Harris).When World War II strikes, Jack has to join the navy and Kate is left alone. Kay finds a job; after all almost all plants are need of extra labor after most men go off to war. Women are not made all that welcome by some of the men. Kay tries her best to do her job and makes a new friend called Hazel (Christine Lahti). Her new \u201cleadman\u201d Lucky (Kurt Russell<\/a>) also is really nice to her. Well, it is more like he is smitten by her. He keeps asking her out and she keeps turning her down. But eventually, she gives into his charm. Along with her friendship with Hazel and Hazel\u2019s romance traffic, her guilt about her own affair and work life, her life gets very busy. And her husband is due home any day\u2026<\/p>\n

This is one harmless, sweet movie. It is not memorable. It is by no means bad, but I was misled into thinking that it would be a romantic comedy with few dramatic touches (I am blaming it on IMDB\u2019s genre labels). It has some funny moments. It has some romantic moments. But with all the war background and the relationships\u2026.something is missing. Of course watching Kurt Russell<\/a> and Goldie Hawn is never boring. And Kay\u2019s husband is played by Ed Harris<\/a>. It is weird seeing Ed with hair, I\u2019ll give you that (well, he had more hair in 1984). Academy was more impressed with the Hazel character than I was as she was nominated for Best Actress in a Supporting Role.<\/p>\n

5.8 on the IMDB. Sounds just about right. Directed by Jonathan Demme.<\/p>\n
