Purple Heart -- The true horror of war...is what we do to ourselves.

Murder by Television -- James Houghland, inventor of a new method by which television signals can be instantaneously sent anywhere in the world...

A laugh-spangled comedy from Neil Simon! Make love, not war... and tell a lot of jokes! Based on the stage success by Neil Simon (The Odd Couple, The Goodbye Girl), Star Spangled Girl is a boys-meet-girl romantic romp that tosses a bouquet of one-liners at the flower power era. The girl is Sandy Duncan (The Hogan Family). The boys are Tony Roberts (Annie Hall) and Todd Susman (Newhart). She - red, white and blue and funny all over - is an aspiring Olympic swimmer. They are the poison pens of a Los Angeles underground newspaper. The three are opposites doomed to attract. And, as usual in a Simon comedy, opposites don't merely attract - they hilariously collide. So, let the fun begin. Simon says laugh!

Campus newspaper editors Andy Hobart (Roberts) and Norman Cornell (Susman) are two self-proclaimed radicals who work for an underground newspaper. Meeting the perfectly perky 'Girl Next Door,' Amy Cooper (Duncan), the two leftists find themselves falling inexplicably in love with the girl whose good old American-pie ideals are the very antitheses of theirs.
