MTV director emeritus Pellington tackles Dan Wakefield's eponymous novel about disenchanted young Army grunts returning to the stultifying blue-collar environs of circa-1954 Indianapolis after a Korean tour of duty. Disillusioned vet Sonny (Davies), while confused about his future, also struggles with repressive Fundamentalist parents and his own sexual coming-of-age, taking solace in his friendship with the more worldly Gunner (Affleck). McGowan (SCREAM) and Weisz (THE MUMMY) play the girls of their dreams. Winner of Sundance Special Recognition accolades for production designer Therese DePrez.
