Winner of Best Actor in a Supporting Role - Motion Picture (Louis Gossett Jr.) and nominated for Best Motion Picture - Drama at the **Golden Globes**. *"Rarely does a film come along with so many finely-drawn characters to care about." - **Variety*** *"AN OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN is the best movie about love that I've seen in a long time. Maybe that's because it's not about "love" as a Hollywood concept, but about love as growth, as learning to accept other people for who and what they are." - Roger Ebert, **The Chicago Sun-Times***
