The D.I.

The D.I. (1957)

El sargento de artillería Jim Moore es uno de los instructores de instrucción más duros de Parris Island. Pero tiene una espina clavada: Pvt. Owens, quien siempre parece fallar cuando hay presión. Convencido de que "hay un hombre debajo de ese talco para bebés", el sargento. Moore lleva a Owens al punto de desertar. Para empeorar las cosas, el capitán Anderson le ha dado a Moore tres días para convertir al privado asustado en material marino, "¡o personalmente le cortaré el cordón de las bragas y lo enviaré!". Para aumentar la presión, Moore también hace malabares con un romance incipiente con una dependienta.
