The Private War of Major Benson

on BBC One London

The feature film starring
Charlton Heston , Julie Adams
Major 'Barney' Benson is none too happy about his assignment as training officer at Sheridan Military Academy. He's a tough army man and a hard task-master, but his new cadets are kids, and the school is run by an order of nuns. Major Benson's no-fun methods make him thoroughly unpopular in this lighthearted family comedy.
Screenplay by WILLIAM Roberts and RICHARD ALAN STMUONS Produced by HOWARD PINE Directed by JERRY HOPPER Films: page 14
