MEDIA COOL

Goldie Hawn is doing her sejf-growth bit again. This time she�s the sweetly ditzy housewife who becomes a beer-swillin� foreman at the McBride aircraft factory while hubby�s off fighting the Japs. But the real war in this film was waged offscreen and it�s something of a miracle that despite all the rewrites and reshoots the film still swings. Kudos to director Jonathan Demme for a nearly obsessive eye and ear for period detail and brilliantly panoramic crowd scenes.
