Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe boot camp scenes were filmed at the Coast Guard Training Center, Government Island (now Coast Guard Island), Alameda, California.
- GoofsAt the end of the movie Woods leaves the bar and walks down the street without his cover (what a hat is called in the military) Even though he is happily distracted by his fiance', anyone who has been in the service more than a week would never go out of doors without his cover. It's second nature.
- Quotes
Alvin 'Al' Woods aka Onionhead: Now get this straight - I brought you home as a favour to Red. And you might...
Stella Papparonis: Oh, I married the wrong guy. It should have been you. I don't care what you think, but love me, love me, love me.
Alvin 'Al' Woods aka Onionhead: Get away from me! Other guys have had unfaithful wives but you're not even that. I pity Red.
Stella Papparonis: Al! Pity me!
Alvin 'Al' Woods aka Onionhead: For what? For being a cheap, dirty, little tramp?
Stella Papparonis: You think I want to be like this? Don't you think I'd like to be happy and find love like other women? Don't you think I'd like to be satisfied with one man? You, you don't know what it's all about. I can't help what I am. I was born this way. One look at me and every man thinks I'm made for love. Well, that's a laugh. Because I'm just the opposite. I'll never know the meaning of love. But I want to know. I want to know. I really liked you, Al. I kept thinking maybe, maybe it'd be different with you.
Alvin 'Al' Woods aka Onionhead: Stella, I...
Stella Papparonis: Beat it, Al. Leave me alone.
