His own soda pop machine. Air conditioning. The finest cotton underwear. Someone else doing the work. That's M/Sgt. Maxwell Slaughter's (Jackie Gleason) game - and man, can he play it. Just ask Supply Sgt. Eustis Clay (Steve McQueen), who idolizes the big, shrewd, supremely self-confident older man. Maybe someday they can go into business together. In the meantime, how about a hot double date? So Clay fixes Slaughter up with a teenybopper named Bobby Jo (Tuesday Weld), a move that sets off a chain reaction of laughs and drama. (Verleiher-Text)

The movie Soldier in the Rain pleasantly surprised me by how it manages to blend comedy with drama in a dosage that certainly doesn't harm, but mainly doesn't offend. I liked this, but I also liked that Steve McQueen sold his comedic potential to the fullest here, which is an interesting contrast to the non-acting Gleason who dominates the film.
