The Americanization of Emily: A Story of Love and Sacrifice

In 1944, during World War II, U.S. Navy Lt. Commander Charlie Madison is a cynical and highly efficient “dog robber” (adjutant) to Rear Admiral William Jessup in London. Charlie’s job is to keep his boss supplied with everything that he might need, including luxury goods and amiable women. He falls in love with Emily Barham, a British ATS driver from the motor pool who has lost her aviator husband, and brother and father to the war. Charlie’s pleasure-seeking “American” lifestyle amid wartime rationing both fascinates and disgusts Emily who does not want to be “Americanized”, but she does not want to lose another loved one to the war and finds the “practicing coward” Charlie irresistible.

The Mission to Capture D-Day

Profoundly despondent since the death of his wife, Jessup obsesses over the U.S. Army and its Air Force overshadowing the Navy in the forthcoming D-Day invasion, and decides that “the first dead man on Omaha Beach must be a sailor”. A combat film will document the death, and the casualty will be buried in a “Tomb of the Unknown Sailor”. He orders Charlie to get the film made.

Despite his best efforts to avoid the assignment, Charlie and his now gung-ho friend, Commander “Bus” Cummings, find themselves and a makeshift two-man film crew aboard a ship with the combat engineers, who will be the first sailors ashore on D-Day. When they land, Charlie tries to retreat, but Cummings shoots him in the leg with his Colt M1911 pistol. Shortly after, a German artillery shell lands near the limping-running Charlie, making him the first American casualty on Omaha Beach. Hundreds of newspapers and magazine covers reprint a photograph of Charlie running on the beach alone, making him a war hero. Having recovered from his breakdown, Jessup is horrified by his part in Charlie’s death, but plans to use his death politically in support of the Navy’s upcoming appropriations while testifying before the Senate’s upcoming joint military affairs committee in Washington. Emily is devastated to have lost another person she loves to the war.

The Truth Revealed

Then comes unexpected news: Charlie is alive and now at the Allied 6th Relocation Center in Southampton, England. A relieved Jessup plans to show him off during his Senate testimony as the “first man on Omaha Beach”, a sailor. Limping from his injury and angry about his senseless near-death, Charlie plans to act nobly by telling the world the truth about what really happened, even if it means being imprisoned for cowardice while facing the enemy. However, by recounting to him what he had said to her previously, Emily is able to persuade Charlie to choose happiness with her instead, and to keep quiet and accept his new, unwanted role as a hero.
