"My job, sir, is to evaluate radiation hazards to United States Army personnel. My wife's not enlisted in the Army. Why doesn't the colonel concern himself with the safety of men who are, rather than the mammaries of women who are not!"
Major Henry "Hank" Marshall (Tommy Lee Jones) is in charge of military safety at the nuclear testing range in New Mexico in the late 1950s. He's also crazy beyond reason for his wife Carly (Jessica Lange), an over-sexed, vampy, voluptuous flirt.
When once again Carly's antics stir Hank's superiors, Hank is transfered to a base in Alabama. Off the lovebirds go with their two teen daughters Alexandra (Amy Locane) and Becky (Anna Klemp). The base commander (Powers Boothe) and his wife (Carrie Snodgress) are concerned about the volatile Carly and the fact that their son Glenn (Chris O'Donnell) is apparently dating Hank and Carly's daughter Alexandra.
Plans are afoot to rid the base of the Marshall family but a big military cover-up of an accident on the testing grounds in New Mexico also surface and decisions must be made.
Directed by Tony Richardson.
Run time: 1 hour, 41 minutes
Rated PG-13
My personal rating: B-
