Le bal des cinglés (1957)
L'action se déroule en 1946 dans un hôpital de campagne américain en Normandie. Les infirmières, qui ont toutes rang de lieutenant, y sont strictement séparées des hommes du rang, mais le soldat Hogan (Jack Lemmon) a bien l'intention de faciliter la rencontre d'un de ses camarades avec celle qu'il aime. De fil en aiguille, il en vient à organiser un grand bal clandestin dans un hôtel du Havre tenu par une Française au caractère bien trempé. Il doit pour cela déjouer les manœuvres du tortueux capitaine Locke (Ernie Kovacs), son rival en amour auprès de l'infirmière Betty Bixby (Kathryn Grant), mais il bénéficie de la complicité de tous les soldats, notamment de celle du caporal Bohun (Dick York), secrétaire du capitaine.
