Bilko who has mastered the Army's catch-22's to his own benefit, turning bureaucratic obstacles into golden opportunities.

"...Right from the opening scenes of SGT. BILKO, Steve Martin convinces us of the rightness of the casting....One of the pleasures of the movie is all the little jokes hidden in the corners..." Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (03/29/1996)
