Happy Birthday Robert Duvall

Remember that military (anti-war) movie called Blue Skies or something like that, when he had the hot crazy wife, who ended up being the one who rescued him from the Army's brig. He was being framed by this mean general, and had the hots for her, but she turned the tables and proved her husband the innocent one. They ended up driving away in a convertible, after he got out of army, to Hollywood, her dream location. And they took the General's son with them, who had fallen for their sweet daughter! Great Acting! Nope did not google up...looking again - could not find that movie, however - his first movie was in 1962 - "The Boo" in To Kill a Mockingbird" - what a way to start his illustrous career!
