Sorry, but nope. Think comedy from the early 70s with folks in uniform. ---

Not a war movie, actually. It was set in the current day in the United States. ---

It looks like I’m stumping the audience here, so I’ll provide another clue: It was a Disney live-action film. ---

Ooh, I remember hearing this one, but can’t quite dredge it out of my so-called brain. Question: Was it spoken by a woman with a Brooklyn accent? ---

I was going to post here on April 21, but seeing Superdude’s extremely misogynistic post, I felt this thread to be a hostile environment. It upset me so much I’ve avoided this thread since then. I hate being reminded that there are areas where that sort of shit is normalized (or even praised, as seen above). I’m posting now because I accidentally clicked on Café Society and seeing this thread, thought I may as well explain myself. ---

I apologize for that. I posted without thinking. Moderation made the right move in hiding it. No offense was intended, and I apologize again. ---

Thank you. By now, though, I’ve forgotten what I was going to post, but it was a good one. ---
