    For the Boys DVD Summary Bette Midler stars as a Martha Raye-type entertainer during the World War II era in this big-budget nostalgia piece.

    Midler plays big-band singer Dixie Leonard, who is chosen to perform at an overseas USO Christmas show by her uncle Art Silver (George Segal), a comedy writer for famed comedian Eddie Sparks (James Caan).

    Dixie is shuttled to London, where she is thrown on-stage with Eddie, who takes an immediate dislike to her.

    But her performance is a sensation, and the audience can't stop howling at Dixie's smart one-liner comebacks to Eddie.

    Dixie is catapulted to stardom, and the repartee between Eddie and Dixie becomes the stuff of legend.

    The two spar together through World War II, the McCarthy era, and Vietnam.

    But Dixie stops speaking to Eddie when he fires a writer for being a communist sympathizer and, later, she doesn't speak to him again after he arranges for a reunion between her and her son on the battlefields of Vietnam.

    Finally, Dixie, now an old woman, is cajoled to appear on a television awards show to reunite with a now decrepit Eddie, age 91.
