John Boorman's "Queen & Country" Arrives on DVD

Based on Boorman’s early adult years, this moving and funny film follows Bill Rohan,  child of the Blitz,  as he comes of age while the country is drawn into the Korean War. At boot camp, Bill and his new buddies master the art of poking fun at petty tyrants and hunger for weekend leave with local beauties.
