Purple Hearts Summary
MPAA Rating: R
Director: Sidney J. Furie
Genres: War, Romance
Rating:

This tale of doomed romance set against the backdrop of the Vietnam War was the last in a string of box office disappointments from director Sidney_J._Furie before he struck gold again with Iron_Eagle (1986). Ken_Wahl stars as Dr. Don Jardian, a Navy medical officer assigned to duty in Vietnam. Jardian is no flag-waving patriot, however; the reluctant warrior is just biding his time until he can return stateside and start a lucrative private practice. Then he meets and falls in love with Deborah Solomon (Cheryl_Ladd), a devoted nurse who at first keeps the handsome doctor at bay, disgusted by the avariciousness that led him to choose what Deborah considers a noble profession. Eventually, however, Deborah's selflessness inspires Don and their romance blooms despite their bloody surroundings, leading to a dangerous mission that could separate them forever. Karl Williams, Rovi
