In der Stadt der Liebe entdeckt sie dann ganz neue Seiten an sich.

Italiano
Ricca e piuttosto svampita, Giulia Benjamin (Hawn), già divorziata, rimane vedova poco dopo il secondo matrimonio. Prostrata, decide di non volere più compiere altre esperienze sentimentali e per questo si arruola. Sotto le armi gliene capitano di tutti i colori, ma il vero banco di prova arriva quando Giulia conosce Henri, un affascinante medico Francese, di cui lei naturalmente si innamora. Il terzo matrimonio si profila, ma, proprio il giorno delle nozze alcuni strani comportamenti del "maritino" inducono Giulia a lasciar perdere e a tornare sortto le armi.

svenska
När hennes man dör bestämmer sig Judy för att göra lumpen. Allt går inte så lätt till en början. Mycket är nytt och många av killarna tror inte att Judy kommer klara av den hårda utbildningen. Men efter några månaders träning så ser det ganska bra ut, tills en överordnad börjar sätta käppar i hjulen för henne.

Español
Tras morir su marido en la noche de bodas, Judy decide alistarse en el ejército americano. Para una chica fina como ella no será fácil acostumbrarse a los duros entrenamientos y a la férrea disciplina castrense, pero Judy intentará no venirse abajo y conseguir pasar el periodo de instrucción. Una comedia protagonizada por Goldie Hawn -en aquellos años una de las mayores estrellas femeninas de Hollywood-, que obtuvo un gran éxito de taquilla.

Magyar
Judy Benjamin alig fér a bõrébe örömében második esküvõjének napján. Nagyon jó pasit fogott ki magának: művelt, jól szituált és szenvedélyes. Ez utóbbi tulajdonságát olyannyira a tökélyre fejlesztette, hogy a nászéjszakáján a szenvedély hevében a lelkét is kileheli. Mit tehet ezek után egy ifjú özvegy? A megoldást egy aktivistától kapja meg: irány a sereg! Ott aztán nem unatkozik az ember. Benjamin a sok megpróbáltatás után mintakatona lesz, akinek már esze ágában sincs polgári életet élni.

Pусский
После серьезного душевного потрясения девушка из хорошей семьи поступает на службу в вооруженные силы. Казалось бы, армия — не самое лучшее место для девушек, но для нашей героини казарма оказалась чуть ли не единственным местом, где она чувствует себя в своей тарелке…

Polski
Jeśli kobieta potrafi żyć tylko przy mężu i prawdziwą radość czerpać z robienia zakupów, meblowania mieszkania, gotowania, występowania u jego boku, jej życiowe szanse śą tak naprawdę mocno ograniczone. Zwłaszcza jeśli mąż nagle zniknie z inną, czy przeniesie się w zaświaty, a ona zostaje na lodzie, samotna i bezradna. Taki właśnie los stał się udziałem Judy Benjamin. Pierwszy mąż odszedł, bo był hulaką i utracjuszem, drugi przeniósł się do lepszego świata w noc poślubną. By odzyskać równowagę wewnętrzną, 28-letnia Judy zaciąga się do wojska i trafia do kompanii,,Alfa", dowodzonej przez kobietę, kapitan Doreen Lewis. Pierwsze trudności zostają pokonane, wredna pani kapitan ukarana, a sześciotygodniowe szkolenie wzorowo ukończone i szeregowiec Benjamin trafia do bazy NATO pod paryżem. Owiedza tam przystojnego ginekologa, właściciela dużego domu i zakochuje się w nim.

Μια νεαρή της καλής κοινωνίας, πάνω σε ένα καπρίτσιο κατατάσσεται στο στρατό και βρίσκεται αντιμέτωπη με πιο δύσκολες καταστάσεις από αυτές που είχε συνηθίσει.

Český
Mladá a půvabná Judy má zřejmě v životě neuvěřitelnou smůlu. Jejím snem je pěkný velký dům a spořádaný manžel v něm. První vyvolený si ji ovšem vzal jen pro peníze a druhý zase umřel na srdeční příhodu během svatební noci. Navzdory šokovaným rodičům se Judy rozhodne rázně a odhodlaně změnit svůj život. Přihlásí se dobrovolně do armády, což si ovšem představuje tak trochu jako romantický výlet na Bahamy… Realita je pochopitelně jiná, ale křehká blondýnka se nevzdává a propracuje se až k parašutistickému výcviku. Její vojenská sláva by pravděpodobně stoupala, kdyby nepotkala dalšího muže. Stane se snad Judy konečně vdanou paničkou?

De onwrikbare spil van Private Benjamin is de verwende Judy Benjamin, die tijdens haar huwelijksnacht haar man verloor. De onweerstaanbare drijfkracht is een driejarig, all-in verblijf in het Amerikaanse leger. Maar wat doet Judy eigenlijk in legerlaarzen en -plunje? Men spiegelde haar het "nieuwe leger van vandaag" voor en, goedgelovig als ze is, hapte ze toe.
