Marines Boland (Spencer Strong Smith), Bernstein (Trent Mills) and Eddie Birdlace (Payson Lewis) are best buddies who are shipping out tomorrow for the as-yet-little-known country of Vietnam. Spencer Strong Smith, left, Payson Lewis and Trent Mills in "Dogfight." But first, the men must compete in the “proud” Marine tradition of the dogfight, a high-stakes contest to see who can scrounge up the ugliest date. Eddie doesn’t question the remarkably cruel custom until he asks appealingly sincere waitress Rose (Nicci Claspell) to be his date. Stricken with shame when Rose learns the secret behind the night, Eddie sets out to make amends — and unlikely romance results.
