Dealing with an issue that has polarized the American people for almost two decades, A MARINE STORY highlights the absurdity of the recently repealed military ban on homosexuals serving openly through the personal story of one courageous woman.Extra s5.1 Dolby DigitalDirector s commentaryDeleted Scenes Review: A Marine Story DVD - I saw this in London at a film festival and ordered the DVD when I got home. Despite being a low budget movie it has the look of a much bigger budget production. The drama unfolds very well and unlike a movie with big stars, where we can usually figure out what the end will be, we have no idea how things are going to turn out, which makes it that much more enjoyable. Dreya Weber makes a convincing Marine and when she puts on her Drill Sergeant act she is really scary. Paris P Pickard gives a first rate performance as the `lost girl' as do all the cast. After many years of service in tough, overseas postings, a woman officer in the US Marine Corps - Alexandra Everett - played by Dreya Weber, is suddenly accused of being a lesbian, after some anonymous accusations. She is advised to resign before an official investigation, so she can get an honourable discharge, but won't get her pension as she still has another year to go. On the day of returning to her sleepy hometown she helps arrest some teenagers stealing from a convenience store. The judge gives the girl - Saffron - played by Paris P. Pickard, a choice between going to jail or joining the military. Everett is asked by the sheriff to give her some basic training to get her through the first round of selection. Saffron is very hostile to authority, but as the story progresses we see how the relationship works out. As well as a serious side to the movie, there is plenty of humour and, very important, one can identify with the characters and feel part of their life stories. Review: Love it! - Love this movie! A great coming off age story for the young female lead, told seamlessly alongside a great wlw plot. 🤌 Well worth a watch (and rewatch)! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004JJ4PUE | | Actors | Anthony Michael Jones, Christine Mourad, Dreya Weber, Paris Pickard, Rob Beddall | | Best Sellers Rank | 17,992 in DVD & Blu-ray ( See Top 100 in DVD & Blu-ray ) 74 in Gay, Lesbian & Transgender 5,863 in Drama (DVD & Blu-ray) | | Customer reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (258) | | Director | Ned Farr | | Item model number | 5060018652139 | | Language | English (Dolby Digital 5.1) | | Media Format | Digital Sound, Dolby, PAL | | Number of discs | 1 | | Package Dimensions | 18.2 x 13.6 x 1.6 cm; 81.65 g | | Producers | Dreya Weber, J.D.
