The title of this movie was burned into my brain in 1977 when the film was shown to me and a few hundred other recruits in Navy boot camp at Great Lakes Recruit Training Center. The plot not so much.
Normally we recruits were told to keep our mouths shut, but for some reason the authorities let us talk and even shout during this movie. It was not unlike a midnight showing of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," a phenomenon that was soon to come along.
Perhaps you can imagine the crude comments that 300 18-year-old "men" came up with whenever Catherine Deneuve was in the screen.
When one unfortunate man fell through a hole at an archeological site someone yelled "Make a hole! Service week!" (You probably have to have gone through Navy boot camp to get that one.)
Anyway, I watched "March or Die" again on You Tube last night and found it to be good enough to watch through to the end, which is more than I can say for any other movie I started watching on You Tube.
